A conserved role for centriolar satellites in translation of centrosomal and ciliary proteins. new study from Claudia Pachinger, Alexander Dammermann and colleagues @maxperutzlabs.bsky.social‬ @univie.ac.at:‬ rupress.org/jcb/article/...

#Cilia #Cytoskeleton #Centrosomes

Perutz group leader Alex Dammermann together with first author Claudia Pachinger. (c) Max Perutz Labs

🆕 publication! What do centriolar satellites really do? In @jcb.org the Dammermann lab challenges the idea that they simply shuttle proteins to the centrosome and cilium. Instead, their findings reveal a surprising new role linked to translation and protein quality control. More tinyurl.com/4dnb2c24
