Endogenous retrovirus-like proteins recruit UBQLN2 to stress granules and alter their functional properties

[Lisa Sharkey @LisaSharkey20]

Excited to share our recent pre-print! This work was led by Hari Mohan @hariharmm, an incredibly talented senior graduate student. The beautiful cryoEM images of PEG10 VLPs within stress granules was done by Martin Fernandez in the @s_mosalaganti lab!

[Harihar Mohan @hariharmm]

Our preprint uncovering how endogenous retrovirus-like proteins reshape fundamental stress granule features is now online! So many awesome discoveries, the coolest being virus-like particles within stress granules! Cryo-CLEM work was led by Martin from @s_mosalaganti lab 1/8

@Rothstein_Lab @HedlundLab Thank you so much for having me. I really enjoyed my visit and sharing my research with so many incredible scientists in the ALS field!

[Rothstein Lab @Rothstein_Lab]

this Friday, @LisaSharkey20 and Eva Hedlund will be presenting at the May Investigator Meeting for @packardcenter 🧠

[Harihar Mohan @hariharmm]

I’m thrilled that I have been chosen to receive the @umichgradschool Predoctoral Fellowship! This fellowship will cover my stipend and tuition for the last year of my PhD. Thanks as always to my mentors @Henrypaulson5 and @LisaSharkey20 for their support and encouragement!

[Lisa Sharkey @LisaSharkey20]

@hariharmm @umichgradschool @Henrypaulson5 Congratulations, Hari! This is so well deserved!

[Lisa Sharkey @LisaSharkey20]

I have the pleasure of presenting Harihar Mohan’s beautiful work on UBQLN2 and RTL8 functional interaction at #SfN2022. Lots of great neuroscience going on, come by and see us! @UM_MNI @ph_doofus @Henrypaulson5

9/n A template slide - can be downloaded from https://t.co/VQ6IcGcV63, feel free to change, also if you do add to have a slide like that just 'after the COI slide' or on your poster, please have somebody take a photo, tweet or DM

[Naftali Kaminski @KaminskiMed]

8/n If you are a speaker or presenter, consider adding a slide or statement to your poster. While this is unusual, the situation is unusual, and some members are excluded because it is unsafe for them to attend - make a visible statement https://t.co/JUbTpEM0JP

[Naftali Kaminski @KaminskiMed]

To men presenting at conferences in states with draconian #AbortionBan laws (like #CHEST2022) and are not sure what to do. It's simple. Speak up. Show a protest slide. You can download one from https://t.co/VQ6IcFVS43

Very glad to have contributed to this paper, which David Eisenberg (citing Churchill) called "the end of the beginning" in the fight to cure Alzheimer's - just published in @NatureComms!

@dgonzales1990 Did you break it to him that he might be overly optimistic on the paycheck?

LOTS of enthusiasm, confident scientists, excellent jokes & VERY tall students - well, it must be 5th grade #ScienceOlympiad !!#AGreatDay @A2schools Best wishes next year in middle school! 👏😊👏 @DickenA2

[Eli Savit @EliNSavit]

But that's cold comfort. Prosecutorial discretion only goes so far; it's dependent on the person & location.

Michigan's 1931 law criminalizing abortion must be wiped off the books. There's a ballot initiative that would do that. Volunteer/donate here: https://t.co/dFEAByXQti /3

Got a new phonebook (!?) in our mailbox and you’d better believe I immediately opened it up in a small corner of my kitchen and dragged my finger down the page, whispering “Brown, Brown, Brown,” before I tore the page out and shoved it in my life jacket.

@connor_maltby Cool! Which disease/gene?
