Our study to understand how kinesin-8 can have both motility and microtubule depolymerization activities came out! 7 #CryoEM structures @SosaLab4. Data collected @SEMC_NYSBC. Collaboration with @AllinghamJohn lab, biochem & X-ray structure by Byron Hunter. nature.com/articles/s4146…

1/ Excited to share our work on how kinesin binding protein (KIFBP) regulates kinesin! TL;DR: KIFBP remodels the kinesin motor to inhibit microtubule-binding

We are very excited to share our latest work, the high-resolution cryo-EM structure of the ex vivo cortical #microtubules from human parasite #Toxoplasma gondii. This work is in collaboration with David Sibley lab and @alanbrownhms lab. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Fascinating microtubule structures solved by sub-tomogram averaging using EMAN (@sludtke and Muyuan Chen), imaging in @chiulab, segmentation with Segger! Identified tubulin proteins in different arrangements along with other components biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Another wonderful collaboration with @alanbrownhms and @DutcherLab. Here we put complementary data together to build the complete structure of two distinct radial spokes on doublet microtubule. It was also a great experience to coordinate with the Vale lab for paper submission.

It always amazes me the things that can bind microtubules - our structures of radial spokes bound to ciliary doublet microtubules nature.com/articles/s4159…

First paper from my lab after entering a new field. Great collaboration with @alanbrownhms and @DutcherLab! In this paper we use high-resolution #cryoEM to identify 38 ciliary doublet associated proteins including 33 #microtubule inner proteins (#MIPs) 😎 cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Structure of the Decorated Ciliary Doublet Microtubule

Visualizing axonemal microtubules and the proteins that decorate them, on the outside and inside, points to how the underlying periodic architecture supports cilia function.

Here is what molecular motors, kinesins in this example, actually do to microtubules as they walk on them. 😵 Want to know how microtubules can survive in real life ? Have a look at our recent investigation: biorxiv.org/content/early/… @SamReckPeterson @christlet @Lblanchoin

Pre-print on a novel bacterial nanocompartment by @Nichols_NTA (@SavageCatsOnly lab) and our very own @bjlafrance features a beautiful 2.2 Angstrom-resolution #cryoEM structure of the nanocompartment shell. Check it out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Inspiring papers from the Scheres and Stark labs showing the amazing potential of cryo-EM. At 1.2 A resolution, even densities for hydrogen atoms are visible! Congrats to @SjorsScheres, @RaduAricescu and Holger Stark. #journalclub doi.org/10.1101/2020.0… doi.org/10.1101/2020.0…
