I am excited to share my graduate work in the Sabatini and @bartellab.bsky.social labs. Since their discovery, we have known lysosomes possess RNase activity; however, their substrates were not known. Surprisingly we find specific RNAs are targeted for degradation! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Retromer promotes the lysosomal turnover of mtDNA Lysosomal uptake of mtDNA controls mitochondrial quality.

Are u tired of reading about tariffs? Then take a look to our last work! @science.org

Exogenous RNA surveillance by proton-sensing TRIM25 Exogenous messenger RNAs (mRNAs) require cellular machinery for delivery and translation but also encounter inhibitory factors. To investigate their regulation, we performed genome-wide CRISPR screens...

Very cool. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Don’t miss this Q&A with Dr. Michelle Frank (@michelle-frank.bsky.social), an awesome postdoc in our lab!

Functional microRNA targeting without seed pairing MicroRNAs (miRNAs) associate with Argonaute (AGO) proteins to serve as guides, directing binding to partially complementary sites in mRNAs, ultimately causing post-transcriptional repression. Compleme...

Pleased to share my recent work from the Bartel Lab! Some miRNAs recognize novel target sites called 3'-only sites, which pair to the miRNA 3' region but not to the seed. These sites direct mRNA repression in cells and are engaged by different mechanisms to seed sites

We’ve preprinted a small follow-up to our identification of MFSD12 as a mediator of lysosomal cysteine import. Would love to discuss, so please get in contact if you have comments or suggestions!

Bartel Lab bids a fond farewell to our incredible lab manager, Asia Stefano. Wishing you all the best on your new adventures in the Rocky Mountains, Asia—thank you for the amazing time we shared together!

If you've been meaning to check out the Night Science Podcast, this is the perfect episode to get started with. Everyone is telling me it's our best one yet!

snoRNA-facilitated protein secretion revealed by transcriptome-wide snoRNA target identification Transcriptome-wide mapping of snoRNA targets reveals mRNA-snoRNA-7SL RNA ternary interactions, which facilitate nascent protein translocation to the ER and subsequent secretion.

Quite a cool novel role for a snoRNA. I am curious how the structured domain of the SRP RNA becomes accessible for snoRNA73 binding and if this would disrupt SRP19 binding to the SRP RNA.
