Check our new preprint! We uncover the full molecular mechanism of rotavirus membrane penetration and cytosolic escape using cryo-ET, live-cell imaging, and single-molecule assays. (1/3)

Excited to share our latest work led by our postdoc Dan Zhao! We uncovered how the bifunctional complex of Mnl1 mannosidase and protein disulfide isomerase (Pdi1) initiates ERAD. A long-sought ERAD reductase is finally discovered! nature.com/articles/s41594-0…
Huge congratulations!

1/n) Best way to start 2025! Thrilled to share our Nature paper about the structures of axonemal components from sperm flagella and from epithelial cilia of the oviduct and brain ventricles. Great collaboration with
@TzviyaZBM and @alanbrownhms

Ever wondered how transcription choreographs histone modifications? Our work reveals the basis of co-transcriptional H3K36me3 by SETD2. We visualize how a histone writer coordinates with the transcription machinery! This is the magnus opus of @MarkertJon tinyurl.com/setd2

A nice piece on one our @CellCellPress papers published earlier this year about mechanisms of herpes simplex virus polymerase drug resistance related to conformational dynamics. 🕺

STK19 is a bona fide transcription-coupled repair factor. Check out the preprint with @FrogWalterLab ➡️bit.ly/4fgl2Fq
We achieved a major technical milestone: 1.9 Å resolution structure of an RNA polymerase II transcription complex. Txn goes sub-2 Å!

Excited to share @biorxivpreprint in collaboration with Rachel Fearns at BU in which we determined the cryo-EM structure of the Nipah virus polymerase complex! The complex assembles with a tobacco pipe-like shape with a flexible stem (do you see it?)😃😅biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The 20S proteasome plays a key protease role in many regulatory processes. Yet, how its ordered biogenesis and temporally timed catalytic site activation works has remained elusive. In our latest work, we provide evidence for how that occurs! @NatureSMB rdcu.be/dElr4
