@molsystbiol.org picked a neat cover for this month's issue 🙃 - Great work from Tal Levin, Hector Garcia-Seisdedos, many more colleagues (doi.org/10.1038/s443...) and great matching cover, too!
This month's cover highlights the article Mutation-induced filaments of folded proteins are inert and non-toxic in a cellular system by Emmanuel Levy, Hector Garcia-Seisdedos and colleagues. Yeast cells harboring mutation-induced filaments of folded proteins or “agglomerates”. The filaments appear large and disruptive, but surprisingly, Levin et al. reveal they are largely inert and non-toxic, unlike aggregates of misfolded proteins.

This work has been a long and exciting journey, taking my lab into yeast proteomics and protein functions. All possible thanks to the great work of Tal Levin, Hector Garcia-Seisdedos and @arseniylobov.bsky.social in particular. Also big thanks to our collaborator Ohad Medalia at ZurichU.

The key experiments and findings of the paper are summarized in this graphical abstract:

Years ago we discovered that missense mutations in homomeric proteins often induces their supramolecular assembly, as in the 📽️👇 - Are such aberrant assemblies of *folded* proteins toxic? Surprisingly, NO. Cells are amazingly robust systems! Paper now online @molsystbiol.org doi.org/10.1038/s443...

Emmanuel Levy @elevylab.bsky.social has joined BlueSky 🌟 with a fantastic Cell paper with Shu-ou Shan, showing the interactome of the TOM complex and how cotranslational mito import prioritizes large globular domains. Beautiful science!
Give him a warm welcome 🎉

Principles of cotranslational mitochondrial protein import
Selective ribosome profiling reveals that nearly 20% of mitochondrial proteins in human cells are imported during translation on cytosolic ribosomes. Cotranslational import requires an N-terminal pres...
