Molecular Physiology of the Cell

Yeast cells can excrete metabolites, in particular amino acids. These compounds can then be used by other microorganisms which can establish mutualistic interaction with yeast. How do yeast cells excrete amino acids remains poorly known. Thanks to a fruitful collaboration with the group of Dr. Isabelle Georis (Labiris, Anderlecht), George Kapetanakis (PhD student supported […]

A fruitful collaboration with the group of Dr. C. Gournas, former postdoc in the lab, led to publication of a novel article entitled “The Bul1/2 Alpha-Arrestins Promote Ubiquitylation and Endocytosis of the Can1 Permease upon Cycloheximide-Induced TORC1-Hyperactivation “ by Megarioti et al. . In this work, we dissected the mechanisms responsible for ubiquitylation and […]
