Perfect start here at the RWTH in Aachen with sunny days and Cherry trees in full blossom at the Melaten Campus.

Perfect for Ohanami 🙂

Our work “K63-linked ubiquitin chains are a global signal for endocytosis and contribute to selective autophagy in plants. Current Biology” was published in Current Biology!

Check it out! 

Marco has been appointed chair of the Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology and our group is moving to the RWTH University in the lovely city of Aachen! It has been four great years at the University of Freiburg and we are sad to leave friends and colleagues. However, we are also looking forward to new exciting times at the RWTH!

We have various new openings, so keep an eye on new job postings.

The “International Conference on Plant Proteostasis” organized by Vicente Rubio (CNB, CSIC, Madrid), together with Frederica Theodoulou, Beatriz Orosa and Marco Trujillo, was again a huge success. We had a fantastic line up of people and brilliant talks. Vivid discussions took place after every talk and during the poster sessions, reflecting a phenomenal engagement of participants.  Our Carla Brillada @carla840126 also presented a story from the lab with data from her and alumni Bushra Saeed @Uknow_Wh0. In addition, Madrid is a fantastic venue making the meeting very enjoyable.

The community will meet again for the next Conference in beautiful Vienna!

 

The German Research Foundation (DFG) awarded the prestigious Heisenberg prize to Marco to promote his research on ubiquitination, in particular investigating cross-talk with cellular signalling mediated by kinases.

“We are humbled by this honour and deeply grateful for the support of the DFG”

We just published an Annual Review in Plant Biology on ” The Evolution and Functions of Plant U-Box Proteins: From Protein Quality Control to Signaling” were we explore the evolution of U-box proteins in the plant lineage all the way to structural details of E3 function.

It has been a while since we last had an outing. We went bowling this time and had a great time. The boss was on a row!

We bid farewell to Bushra who will move the Spoel Lab @SpoelLab in Edinburgh, but will stick to ubiquitination.

We wish you the best of luck!
