Very excited to announce that my first, first author paper, is now on BioRxiv! In this paper we unambiguously show #COPII coated vesicles in unperturbed human cells for the very first time!!

Make my day and check it out!

Mapping of endosomal proximity proteomes reveals Retromer as a hub for RAB GTPase regulation - Nature Communications The endosomal retrieval subdomain organizes recycling of endocytosed proteins. Here, using proximity proteomics, the authors reveal that this recycling subdomain regulates switching of specific RAB GT...

This was a fun paper to be involved in. Carlos identified many known and unknown proteins associated with endosomal membrane domains with really amazing proximity proteomics. @carlosantonplagaro.bsky.social @peterjcullen1.bsky.social

I am excited to share our latest preprint presenting the structure of human NHE6, a key endosomal Na⁺/H⁺ exchanger involved in Christianson syndrome.

We bring together #cryo-EM, NMR, SAXS, lipidomics, and functional assays for an integrative analysis of NHE6 architecture, function, and regulation.

Excited to present our new story in Science Advances at #bps2025 meeting next week. Thanks to Vanderbilt CSB for featuring our work!

New work from the @lpjacksonlab.bsky.social uses a combination of biochemical, biophysical and computational modeling techniques to investigate endosomal trafficking players. Congrats to 1st author @mintuju.bsky.social!

Thrilled to have my first-author publication in Science Advances, and grateful to my supervisor for sharing it on Bluesky! This marks a major milestone in our journey to unravel the complexities of endosomal protein interactions!

VARP binds SNX27 to promote endosomal supercomplex formation on membranes VARP binds SNX27 to promote the assembly of the SNX27/Retromer/ESCPE-1 endosomal supercomplex on membranes.

The Jackson lab is thrilled to join Bluesky and find so many friends, scientists, and colleagues. It is an uncertain and frankly scary time for U.S. science, but today we are pausing to celebrate an exciting new paper in Science Advances:
