Please check out our new preprint! We find an unexpected role for #CASM in regulating p62 mediated activation of the KEAP1/NRF2 pathway to initiate a cytoprotective antioxidant transcriptional response. More functions for #CASM in responding to lysosome stress. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/2

Communication is so important. Congratulations to the 1%, on its own, can feel like Commiserations to the 99%. The phrase 1% carries so much baggage. Anyway, aren't we scientists, shouldn't it be 5% p<0.05 to be significant.

It is disappointing. Some real results are sunk by lazy and deceitful decisions on others. How many research hours/$$££ are wasted following some of those observations?

RAB5c controls the assembly of non-canonical autophagy machinery to promote phagosome maturation and microbicidal function of macrophages
Non-canonical conjugation of ATG8 proteins, including LC3, to single membranes implicates the autophagy machinery in cell functions unrelated to metabolic stress. One such pathway is LC3-associated ph...

Happy to share the latest work from the lab @crick.ac.uk. Outstanding work from Di Chen and Tony Fearns showing the link between Mtb membrane damage, calcium leakage and ATG8/LC3 lipidation in macrophages. Congratulations Di and Tony! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis phagosome Ca2+ leakage triggers multimembrane ATG8/LC3 lipidation to restrict damage in human macrophages
Ca2+ leakage triggers LC3 lipidation on multimembrane as Mtb phagosome damage response, independent of autophagy.

Really cool story. Congrats all ! (although, I would still call this process CASM 😉, multimembrane compartment probably started out as a single membrane one)
