How did another AP1 structure where not all the ARF1 can be on the membrane get published?

Researchers have identified superparamagnetic macrophages in the livers of rock pigeons to be crucial for magnetic sensing. The finding uncovers an unexpected role for immune cells in sensory perception and may fundamentally change our understanding of animal navigation. scim.ag/4nTQ3nq

How animals sense Earth’s magnetic field is one of biology’s enduring mysteries. Researchers have now identified superparamagnetic macrophages in the livers of rock pigeons (Columba livia) to be crucial for magnetic sensing. The finding uncovers an unexpected role for immune cells in sensory perception and may fundamentally change our understanding of animal navigation.

Happy to see the preprint of our VULCROM setup online! Thanks to our amazing collaborators we've managed to get some pretty cool cryo-CLEM images by combining cryo super-resolution and cryo-ET: doi.org/10.64898/202...

Now finally at least one structure of each of the 6 human AP complexes has been published! We are finally getting close to holistically understanding the differences/intricacies in both recruitment and vesicle formation of this family.

The mechanistic basis of cargo selection during Golgi maturation

Resident proteins of the Golgi recycle in vesicles and the protein GOLPH3 enables the COPI vesicle coat to accomplish this.

Super interesting paper on the evolutionary origins of an strange complex of uncertain function.
