Septin Meeting 2021

Twitter feed of septin meetings. Preparing for 2021 hybrid EMBO Workshop "Cellular and Molecular Biology of Septins"

[Septin Meeting 2021 @Septin2021]

We are open for registration! The EMBO Workshop will take place September 12th to 15th, 2021, as a hybrid event in presence here in Berlin and online.

[Amin Zehtabian @Laminorz]

Our preprint is out. This may be a good read for all involved in #Septin filaments and #MachineLearning. Thanks to my wonderful colleagues, specially @P_M_Mueller & @ewers_helge, for their hard work and getting this out.

Meeting report - the ever-fascinating world of septins https://t.co/0L3advoSbB

[Nick Talbot @talbotlabTSL]

Barbara Zieger - Septin deficiency can result platelet secretion defects. Associated with genetic disorders leading to dysplasia (polymicrogyria) and developmental delay, see for example effect of a SEPT5 mutation https://t.co/EIcIq5jotY #EMBOSeptin2021

[Septin Meeting 2021 @Septin2021]

Like at our last gathering here in 2017 at the beautiful Harnack Haus in Berlin, the last scientific talk is delivered by Barbara Zieger who discovered SEPT5 in humans in the mid 90ies. #EMBOSeptin2021

Local Hero Vladimir Ugorets from @fubcp @FUBiochemistry sharing exciting unpublished work on Septins in myogenesis. #EMBOSeptin2021

[Septin Meeting 2021 @Septin2021]

We continue our morning session with Matthias Gaestel on septins in macrophages and tumorigenesis.

Rikki Eggert - Lipid constitution of membranes changes significantly throughout cell cycle and cytokinesis. Many cytokinetic regulators are membrane associated, so temporal activity may be associated with specific lipid interactions. https://t.co/fyYkpegQLE #EMBOSeptin2021

[Nick Talbot @talbotlabTSL]

Thomas Gronemeyer - Septin 9-EPLIN association revealed in this interactome study.EPLIN over-expression can rescue SEPT9 null mutant phenotypes. Their interplay regulates shape of filopodia, size of focal adhesions, & cellular migration

Top work! Amasing insights

[Septin Meeting 2021 @Septin2021]

Riki Eggert from @KingsCollegeLon is now sharing her new work on septin-lipid interactions. Very important and unique insights. #EMBOSeptin2021

[Septin Meeting 2021 @Septin2021]

Thomas Gronemeyer presents his new work on SEPT9 interacting molecules in cell migration. #EMBOSeptin2021

Arnaud Echard - Cytokinesis requires constriction of ESCRT-III filaments on the side of the midbody, where abscission occurs. Septins play roles in the specific localisation dynamics during cell division https://t.co/ZbEPAeKQ5E #EMBOSeptin2021

[Nick Talbot @talbotlabTSL]

Arnaud Echard - Remodeling of cytoskeletal elements and cytoplasmic filaments, including septins, microtubules, actin and ESCRT occurs in the late steps of cytokinesis #EMBOSeptin2021 https://t.co/gS32OMhRs8

[Septin Meeting 2021 @Septin2021]

We continue with cytokinesis with a remote talk by Arnaud Echard, @TMDCLab_Pasteur #EMBOSeptin2021

[Nick Talbot @talbotlabTSL]

Michael Krauss - revealing septin phosphatidylinositol phosphate interactions. Septin-PIP interactions requires PIP Kinase1 gamma-isoforms 3 &5. Septin interaction with the microtubule-membrane complex MKLP1 is perturbed upon depletion of PIPK1gamma-i3/i5 #EMBOSeptin2021

[Septin Meeting 2021 @Septin2021]

The last session of #EMBOSeptin2021 starts with Michael Krauss from @LeibnizFMP who presents beautiful work on mammalian cytokinesis.

Bill Trimble, @McMurraylab @charles_garratt and Ana Paula Araujo joining us again in the middle of the night for the first session of this hybrid meeting. 😴☕️💻 #hybridmeeting #EMBOSeptin2021

[Nick Talbot @talbotlabTSL]

Amy Gladfelter - Even small changes in sequence can functionally diversify biophysical properties of septins- as in the ancient gene duplication of Cdc11 in Ashbya. See the preprint @GladfelterLab https://t.co/Jgw2pd6w86 #EMBOSeptin2021

Shoutouts to many past figures in the field that are not actively working on septins anymore: John Pringle, Jeremy Thorner, Daniel Lew, Alfred Wittinghofer, Marian Farkasovsky...
