Looking for some Sunday reading? Check out this recent pre-print! With Mathis Baalmann as lead author and contributions from CellNetworks member Richard Wombacher, it aims to provide the community with a powerful toolbox for making protein-protein conjugates using bioorthogonal chemistry.
A Bioorthogonal Click Chemistry Toolbox for Targeted Synthesis of Branched and Well-Defined Protein-Protein Conjugates A highly efficient technology for protein functionalization with commonly used bioorthogonal motifs for Diels-Alder cycloaddition with inverse electron demand (DAinv). With the aim of precisely generating branched protein chimeras, we systematically assessed the reactivity, stability and side produc...

Check out this pre-print! With Julia Knopf as lead author and contributions from CellNetworks member Marius Lemberg, it describes the group's use of a catalytic-inactive mutant and proteomics to find substrates for the ERAD rhomboid protease.
Comments are highly appreciated (on the webpage)!
Intramembrane protease RHBDL4 induces ER-associated degradation of the oligosaccharyltransferase complex The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)-resident intramembrane rhomboid protease RHBDL4 generates metastable protein fragments and together with the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) machinery provides a clearance mechanism for aberrant and surplus proteins. However, the endogenous substrate spectrum and with...

The next public event in the development project, "Masterplanverfahren Im Neuenheimer Feld / Neckarbogen," will take place on Thursday 28th November 2019 at 6pm.
In the first half of 2019, the four planning offices presented their traffic concepts for the project. After putting their feasibility to the test, an external reviewer will now present its findings, as well as the traffic flows each approach will most likely produce, to the public.
All interested parties are invited to intend. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and submit comments following the presentation. For more information, check out the link below!
Verkehrskonzepte der Büros auf dem Prüfstand: Nächste öffentliche Veranstaltung am 28. November Das Masterplanverfahren Im Neuenheimer Feld / Neckarbogen geht weiter: Die vier Planungsbüros hatten in der ersten Jahreshälfte vier Entwürfe samt Verkehrskonzepten für den Campus vorgelegt. Ein externer Gutachter hat diese Verkehrskonzepte nun auf den Prüfstand gestellt. Die Frage war: Halten ...

Science communication is an increasingly important issue in academia. So why not check out the following opportunity for young scientists!
Dagmar Röhrlich, a renowned science journalist, will be the next Springer Nature Visiting Professor for this topic. During her stays at the Marsilius Kolleg, she will offer several workshops on practical or more theoretical aspects of science communication – some in English and some in German.
A joint initiative of the Veranstaltungsforum of the Holtzbrinck Publishing Group, the Klaus Tschira Foundation (KTS), and Universität Heidelberg, workshop themes this year will include: how to become a good interview partner, how good press conferences work and scientific communication for environmental scientists, among others.
Check out the programme and feel free to register for any of the seminars via email, or send in any questions you might have using the link below!
Springer Nature Visiting Professorship - Uni Heidelberg The visiting professorship for scientific communication, established in the winter term 2018/2019, is a joint initiative of the Veranstaltungsforum of the Holtzbrinck Publishing Group, the Klaus Tschira Foundation (KTS) and Ruperto Carola.

Check out this recently published paper on the interaction of the stem cell inducer WUSCHEL with the differentiation hormone auxin, with contributions from CellNetworks members Thomas Greb and Jan Lohmann. Lead author: Yanfei Ma.
WUSCHEL acts as an auxin response rheostat to maintain apical stem cells in Arabidopsis Spatial control of auxin signaling maintains a balance between stem-cell self-renewal and differentiation at the plant shoot apex. Here Ma et al. show that rheostatic control of auxin response by the WUSCHEL transcription factor maintains stem cells by conferring resistance to auxin mediated di...
