This work is the result of a shared @dfg.de grant between @walter-nickel-bzh.bsky.social and me, carried out by our joint PhD student @manpreet0700.bsky.social at @uniheidelberg.bsky.social @bzh-hd.bsky.social . A great team effort! 🙌

If our hypothesis holds, disrupting PI(4,5)P₂ asymmetry in cells should slow FGF2 translocation. To test this, @manpreet0700.bsky.social introduced PI(4,5)P₂ micelles in the media—enriching the outer leaflet and disturbing the natural asymmetry. And yes, it made a difference.

🚨 Lipid Time! 🚨 Excited to share our latest story now on @biorxiv-biochem.bsky.social ! Our brilliant PhD student @manpreet0700.bsky.social , together with @walter-nickel-bzh.bsky.social and myself, shows how PI(4,5)P₂ asymmetry in the plasma membrane drives the unconventional secretion of FGF2! 👇👇👇

Plasma membrane transbilayer asymmetry of PI(4,5)P2 drives unconventional secretion of Fibroblast Growth Factor 2
Unconventional secretion of Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2) is based upon direct self-translocation across the plasma membrane, a process that involves the transient formation of a lipidic membrane ...
