Millions of beating cilia keep airways clean. At the base of each is the transition zone (TZ), a gate that controls which proteins enter and leave. In our paper out today in Science, we used cryo-FIB-ET to image the TZ inside human airway cells www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Vertebrate #Hedgehog signaling is transduced by transmembrane protein Smoothened (SMO) on the primary #cilium, but what is its mechanism? @reitergroup.bsky.social &co show that SMO & ciliary GPCRs regulate ciliary PKA activity to activate the Hedgehog pathway @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4v7vdnp
Model for HH-mediated control of ciliary PKA activity. GPR161 recruits the PKA holoenzyme to the primary cilium. There, locally elevated levels of cAMP promote dissociation of PKA-R from PKA-C subunits. PKA-C phosphorylates GLI, promoting processing into GLI-R and repressing HH target gene transcription in the nucleus. When HH binds to PTCH, PTCH leaves the cilium and SMO enters in an active conformation. GRK2/3 phosphorylates active SMO. Phosphorylated SMO directly binds and inhibits the catalytic site of PKA-C. PKA does not phosphorylate GLI, and GLI-A induces the HH transcriptional program in the nucleus.

Physicist Rosalyn Yalow co-invented a super-sensitive test (radioimmunoassay) that uses tiny amounts of radioactive tags to detect exact levels of insulin in blood & won the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (the 2nd woman ever to win in this category). She died #OTD in 2011. #WomenInSTEM
A black-and-white historical photograph capturing Nobel Prize-winning medical physicist Dr. Rosalyn Sussman Yalow (1921–2011) at work in her laboratory, projecting a mood of warm competence and focused intellect. Dr. Yalow is posed angled toward her crowded workbench, smiling warmly and directly at the camera. She wears a crisp white laboratory coat over a dark blouse accented by a circular pendant necklace. In her right hand, she deftly holds a long, slender glass volumetric pipette, mid-experiment, while her left hand rests steadily near a small glass beaker on the white countertop. The mid-20th-century laboratory setting is dense with scientific equipment, featuring multi-tiered wooden shelves packed with labeled glass reagent bottles, vials, and chemical containers. Boxes of laboratory supplies, including a Kimble brand box, and containers of test tubes cluster in the foreground. This image carries profound historical significance, representing a trailblazing woman in STEM whose co-invention of the revolutionary radioimmunoassay (RIA) technique transformed modern endocrinology and diagnostic medicine, ultimately earning her the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
