TransitID is out today in Cell! This is a proximity labeling method for unbiased discovery of endogenous proteins that traffick from a defined “source” location to a defined “destination” location. TransitID uses sequential labeling by TurboID in the source, followed by a chase period (minutes to hours) and then 1-minute APEX tagging in the destination compartment. Proteins tagged by both enzymes are enriched with streptavidin and anti-fluorescein antibody, and identified by mass spec.
We explore 4 intracellular and intercellular applications of TransitID:
- discovery of locally translated mitochondrial proteins (translated at OMM, then imported into mito matrix)
- mapping proteins whose cytoplasm-to-nucleus shuttling is dampened by stress
- discovery of proteins that transit between nucleolus & stress granules during stress & stress recovery
- analysis of proteins that traffic intercellularly bw tumor cells & macrophages

@sanasuri @Momademia Bring a car seat on the plane. It’s a hustle to bring but it’s way easier for him to sit still and be contained. Please it’s safer to sleep in it.
[1/n] I am offering a free Zoom "Intro to R" data wrangling workshop on January 14th, 2023 after popular demand. Specifically, I will go through the use of the Tidyverse. All disciplines and beginner* R skill levels are welcome. @PhDVoice@AcademicChatter@OpenAcademics
Our new study of MYO1E variants associated with nephrotic syndrome! @PeiJuLiu1 led a great collaboration with several labs, incl. Chris Yengo's lab @PSUresearch, Friedhelm Hildebrandt's lab @BostonChildrens, @Claire_EMartin_, & several Krendel lab members, incl. @MichaelGarone.
As a parent, you have to pick your battles.
These are some stands I've been glad we've taken.
They're not easy, but they're worth the fight.
As I often say to my kids ⏤
"I know you don't think this is important,
But one day you'll be so thankful you had parents who did."
BREAKING—a bill to make Daylight Savings permanent just passed the US Senate by **Unanimous Consent** (S.623: Sunshine Protection Act, as amended to make Daylight Saving Time permanent). It only needs to now pass the House before going to Biden’s desk!
Now accepting apps for our funded 2-month summer internship for 1 MD/DO or MS/PhD student to work with us @GregoryTasian @Justin_Ziemba@Penn@ChildrensPhila in applying machine learning tech to CT image analysis in renal stone disease. For more info/app https://t.co/fXE3UbDtCH
