Today was the last day of our fantastic undergraduate student from @GeorgiaSouthern Katherine Barrs. She was helping us develop a fast assay to measure endo and exocytosis rates in yeast. Thank you Katherine! 👍 pic.twitter.com/52Pth4QtZx

The lab latest preprint is online! Our simulations show that crosslinking short actin filaments can produce significant amounts of compressive force https://t.co/Klj3NfB5nZ

Our new manuscript shows how the force barrier for endocytosis in yeast can be dramatically lowered by changing how the membrane is bound to the cell wall and by partially coating the membranehttps://t.co/IvqHop2OPp

Our paper on the conversion of binding energy into elastic energy via actin filament crosslinking is now published in @PLOSCompBiol: Structural organization and energy storage in crosslinked actin assemblies https://t.co/3SGktFCeB4

Our simulations uncovered new mechanisms for the conversion of binding energy into elastic energy, and subsequently into torque, via dynamic actin filament crosslinking.

A few plasmids that were created in the Berro lab and can be useful for the S. pombe community are now available on Addgene. These include plasmids to perform CRISPR/Cas9 edition using fluoride selection (Fernandez and Berro, 2016), and plasmids to C-terminally tag proteins with SNAP, CLIP, Halo, mEOS3.2, PAmKate, PATagRFP or PAmCherry (unpublished).
