We want to give a huge thank you to @LaurenCahoon for helping make our #research accessible. Check out her terrific synopsis of our @NatureSMB paper in @CornellVet news! https://t.co/Chnjim7mFp
We’re excited to share our new preprint! We used a wacky C. elegans phenotype to study the homolog of a family of phosphatase regulators. This was a collab between Hollopeter lab members and @guntherwho & proteomics experts @ScienceStowers@LaurenceFlorens and Ying Zhang. 1/4
Like the ASPPs, APE-1 localizes to cell junctions & binds PP1. Using jowls as a functional readout of the APE-1–PP1 complex we then discovered that localization to cell junctions is conferred by APE-1's N-terminal half, while its C-terminal ankyrin repeats regulate PP1 output.3/4
