An evolutionarily conserved, short linear actin filament-binding motif (SFM), present in >100 proteins. Great collaboration with the Windhorst and Marlovits labs. Happy to have contributed, by using macrophage podosomes as a readout. Publication in Nat Cell Biol: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Immunofluoresence image of primary human macrophage expressing the GFP-fused SFM of ARHGEF11, with ROIs of several and single podosomes. Association of the SFM with the F-actin core of podosomes, stained by phalloidin, shown by Poji macro analysis on the right.

Celebrating Philippe’s enormous scientific legacy. A sad occasion, but also a deeply touching homecoming and reunion.

Original image from 2011 of what I just had seen under the microscope when I ran into @oliverrocks.bsky.social’s office to show him. Turned out he’d observed this too, had no idea what it was either, but was just as stunned and curious as I was. This is how it all started... /1

Hela cell transfected with Cdc42 showing a bright and long rod structure spanning the whole cell. DIC image below shows the same rod structure with high contrast.
