Study of Impacts of Two Types of Cellular Aging on the Yeast Bud Morphogenesis

K. Tsai, Z. Zhou, J. Yang, Z. Xu, S. Xu, R. Zandi, N. Hao, W. Chen, M. Alber

This study analyzes two aging modes in yeast, showing spherical budding cells better control growth and size, and develops a model to test mechanisms of bud morphogenesis during aging.

Synthesis, Insertion and Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 Membrane Protein Within Lipid Bilayers

Y. Zhang, S. Anbir, J. Mctiernan, S. Li, M. Worcester, P. Mishra, M. E. Colvin, A. Gopinathan, U. Mohideen, R. Zandi, T. E. Kuhlman

This study develops a method to express, purify, and insert SARS-CoV-2 M protein into lipid bilayers, characterizing its structural properties using AFM and Cryo-EM.

Endocytosis at Extremes: Formation and Internalization of Giant Clathrin-coated Pits Under Elevated Membrane Tension

A. A. Akatay, T. Wu, U. Djakbarova, C. Thompson, E. Cocucci, R. Zandi, J. Rudnick, C. Kural

This study shows that elevated membrane tension induces the formation of giant clathrin-coated pits (GCPs) in fruit fly embryos, which differ in size and internalization dynamics from canonical clathrin-coated pits.

Endocytic Clathrin Coats Develop Curvature at Early Stages of Their Formation

N. Willy, J. Ferguson, S. Silahli, C. Cakez, F. Hasan, Y. Chen, M. Wu, H. Chang, A. Travesset, S. Li, R. Zandi, D. Li, E. Betzig, E. Cocucci, C. Kural

The paper uses live cell imaging to show clathrin-coated pits develop curvature early without requiring a flat-to-curved transition.
