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.

18 new #cryoEM structures of the kinesin molecular motor KIF14 reveal its translocation mechanism @SosaLab4 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… Collaboration with Kwok lab. Data collected at @SEMC_NYSBC #EinsteinMed #MTmotors #kinesins #microtubules #biophysics @cryoEM_Papers #cellbiology
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/…
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 our latest #PRC2 work, spearheaded by @vignesh_k757 and supported by many collaborators: Curtis Beck, @poepsel_lab, @malamenteau, Jennifer Kosmatka, Dan Toso at the #BACEM facility, and Marco Faini in the Aebersold Lab in Zurich. #cryoEM

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…
