This is a short video description of our recent work.
Elastically loaded clathrin lattices relax to increased curvature after AFM nanodissection.

This is a molecular dynamics visualization of TGF-β receptor 1, created in @Blender using #MolecularNodes. TGF-β pathway regulates many cellular processes including cancer formation. 1 month of dedicated work from system prep to final render. #sciart #b3d #md #cancerdrugs

Check out our new paper in @NatureComms!
We report a much improved structure of the TRPV3 pentamer, analyzing its high permeability capabilities and its mechanistic ability to reversibly transition to and from the canonical tetrameric state.

Over 20 years ago, Zuker et al. discovered the mammalian sweet taste receptors
Now, an exciting collaboration between our labs @ColumbiaBiochem reveals the #cryoEM structure of the human sweet receptor-key to sweet taste perception-online @CellCellPress!

Mature #HIV-1 contains >2000 copies of “spacer peptide 2”, but we didn’t know why. We now see that SP2 binds the matrix protein and triggers the change into its mature arrangement. Summary video from @MargotRiggi :

Was excited to determine the in situ clathrin structure for this project! That’s my first EM-structure upload to EMDB. Can I tell my mom I am a structural biologist now? 😄 #cryoET

We performed subtomogram averaging on complexes from >3 MDa to ~200 kDa, including 80S ribosomes, Rubisco, clathrin, microtubules, ATP synthase photosystem II, and nucleosomes. Most density maps achieved sub-nanometer resolution!🔬✨ #CryoET #StructuralBiology #VisualProteomics

Excited to share our new preprint and 1800 tomograms with the community! 🎉 This is our first step towards building a visual proteomics dataset for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. I hope the community will be able to make good use of this data!🔬#CryoET

New preprint from my awesome labmates! It was really cool to watch from the front seat how this story unfolds! Congrats James Stacey, @F4ustus, @BriggsGroup and co-authors! 🤩

Our new preprint is out: we solved the structures of HIV-1 matrix (MA) from intact virions by SPA. The structure led us to a surprising discovery resolving a long mystery in HIV-1 biology – peptide SP2 regulates the maturation of the HIV-1 matrix. 🧵1/x

🎉 NanoLocz is Celebrating Its 1st Birthday! 🎉
To mark this milestone, we’re hosting some User Meetings for new and experienced users (all are welcome). An open session to share tips, feedback, ask questions, or simply observe to see if it can help your own #AFM analysis.

Using #Ftractin to visualize #actin in living cells?
We determined the F-tractin-F-actin structure and showed that the probe is nearly identical to #Lifeact. Check out light microscopy by Athul Sivan @RolandSoldner and #cryoEM by @DmitryShatskiy and me biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Happy to share that our preprint on the regulation of NPC (a)symmetry is online! #teamtomo #NPC #phdlife
Wouldn't have been possible without the support of the amazing @Beck_Laboratory and great collaborators outside @svenklumpe, @MandyBoermel, @WilflingFlorian!

Did you know that nuclear pore complexes can turn up outside the nuclear envelope? Studying these, @JennySachweh, Bernhard Hampoelz and others uncover that the surrounding cellular milieu determines NPC composition via the nuclear transport system itself. #teamtomo #NPC A 🧵

Super excited to share our latest work on the native in-cell organization of the mitochondrial respiratory chain 🥳
Using cryo-electron tomography🔬, we show how the respiratory complexes (and other complexes) are organized inside native mitochondria!
