Check out the latest preprint from our lab - a tour de force in colon developmental biology by Ph.D candidate @hopton_rachel !!
Rachel’s thesis work gives us a close-up view of colon epithelial development and stem cell clonality! Congrats Rachel!

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

Work of amazingly talented co-first authors @WeiQinChemBio and @CheahJoleen, and collaborators Steve Carr @namude & Paul Taylor

It is unbelievable to receive a perfect score of 10 for my K99/R00 application, given my initial submission was not even discussed. I felt very disappointed back then and thought I wouldn't have a chance. I hope my n=1 case could encourage other applicants in similar situations.

It’s been an exciting couple of weeks! Last Tuesday I defended my PhD dissertation from @ZempLab!! Today I was able to participate in the hooding ceremony! It’s been a wild ride and I’m not quite sure what’s next, but I am excited to see where this journey takes me!

[Zemper Lab @ZempLab]

Dr. Hopton walked across the stage and received her PhD hood today! Congratulations 🍾🎈🎉 @hopton_rachel !
