Excitingly, we find that the SND3 translocon has an analogous organisation to the metazoan multipass translocon, indicating that fungi and other eukaryotic taxa have evolved a distinct, reduced-complexity machinery for the insertion of multipass membrane proteins.

First attending to international conference🌎 — GRC Membrane Protein Folding in Barcelona —truly inspiring🥳
❤️Proud to share my PI, @melaniemcdowell.bsky.social 's talk on Fungal ER Membrane Protein Biogenesis, led by @tzujingyang.bsky.social
