APEX peroxidase is a versatile tool for proximity labeling and electron microscopy (EM) but its requirement for toxic H2O2 is a liability. We now report LaccID, a multicopper oxidase evolved from an ancestral fungal laccase that oxidizes aromatic substrates using non-toxic O2 instead of H2O2. We use LaccID for EM imaging of cultured cells and fly brains, and for proteomic mapping of the changing surface composition of T cells that engage with tumor cells via antigen-specific T cell receptors.
ISMND's Publication & Science Programs Officer and @MolNeuro Senior Editor Dr. Hongmei Li is at the ISMND booth (#1848) at #SfN2024 as part of our 'Meet the Editor' sessions! Catch her from 2pm-3pm today 🤓
Wonderful collaboration with @MichaelvdWeijer and the Carvalho group! We identify a new substrate, Tapasin, for RNF185-Membralin ERAD complex and a novel role of the complex in regulating the antigen presentation 🎉🎉🎉
Just out from the Carvalho lab!!! Yours truly, @NickoSunway123 and colleagues together with @LuLin_Jiang and @TrostLab
discover a new role for the RNF185-Membralin ERAD complex in regulating Tapasin assembly with the PLC! Get it while it's hot!

A new study by Nirmalya Dasgupta in the lab 10.1016/j.molcel.2024.08.006 Nirmalya shows that histone chaperone HIRA and PML collaborate to control the SASP of senescent cells via cGAS/STING. Great work and congratulations, Nirmalya! https://t.co/e7wOepFD3A
We are excited to announce Dr. Aaron D. Gitler @Stanford as our next ISMND Science Webinar speaker!

New study led by talented post doc in the lab @Aaron_Havas : 1) aged tissues at increased risk of cancer due to "precarious balance"; 2) age-activated IFN signaling is an adaptive response to prevent cancer in older tissues, but w/ maladaptive consequence. https://t.co/7matXAcget
Microglial-derived C1q integrates into neuronal ribonucleoprotein complexes and impacts protein homeostasis in the aging brain. @CellCellPress https://t.co/E7dqyLYoty
Very insightful study! What are the non-genetic non-environmental causes of variation in lifespan? This is well-documented in genetically identical worms living in identical environment (same dish). The don’t all die at the same time. Why not? https://t.co/MD8CcNOAoC
Super excited to announce our latest work in @MolNeuro! We generated new anti-acetylated-tau-K174 antibodies that effectively mitigate neurobehavioral impairments and reduce pathology in PS19 mice— alone and in conjunction with TBI. (1/5) Details here: https://t.co/lpNL5Rj6Lc
After focal CNS injury, local mature #astrocytes dedifferentiate, proliferate and become transcriptionally reprogrammed; these wound repair astrocytes are the predominant source of neuroprotective borders that re-establish CNS integrity around lesions

I am honoured to coauthor one of my favourite papers of all times when it comes to #mitochondria#ageing and #senescence! https://t.co/N4O1DPxVtb
So things are not always as we dogmatically assume. Mitochondrial and "-phagy" dysfunctions are reported to occur with ageing...

💫NEW: Feng & co show that the major nucleoid protein TFAM interacts with cytoplasmic LC3B during oxidative or inflammatory stress to attenuate #mitochondria DNA-induced #inflammation via the #cGASSTING pathway.
