A fantastic collaboration with @jagannathan-lab.bsky.social @labvanni.bsky.social @gautamdey.bsky.social and the Korkhov and Antonin labs!cell.comThe dystonia-associated Torsin1A sustains CLCC1 function in membrane fusion of the nuclear envelope for NPC biogenesisMaslennikova et al. identify the ER membrane protein CLCC1 as an interaction partner of the dystonia-linked AAA+ ATPase Torsin1A. Torsin1A sustains the function of CLCC1, which is proposed to facilitate fusion of the nuclear envelope during NPC biogenesis by forming an oligomer that promotes lipid bilayer approach and remodeling. 13717
