Very happy to have my grad school research published! This was a really fun project driven by a great collab with @WangyrRay. How do Hsp70 and Hsp90 cooperate to unfold a client protein? How does Hsp90 refold and reactivate a client protein? How do co-chaperones help? See below!

Very excited to announce our two new papers! #CryoEM structures demonstrate how Hsp70 and Hsp90 cooperate to regulate the folding and function of a model client, the glucocorticoid receptor. First authors @WangyrRay and @ChariMN nature.com/articles/s41586-0… nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Congrats Eliza!!!
Excited to share our findings about the self-assembly of the phage nucleus! In short: it’s primarily composed of a single ~70 kDa protein and forms a beautiful (I may be a little biased 😍) C2 symmetric lattice! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Cryo-EM amazingness!

Our preprint is out! How the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is reactivated by the molecular chaperone Hsp90 and the co-chaperone p23, revealed by cryo-EM
