In a great collaboration with @HummerLab and the Kräusslich lab, @jpkreysing, @MaziarHeidari1, @VojtechZila and others tackle what happens when HIV capsid goes through an NPC. Instead of the NPC cracking the capsid, the capsid appears to crack the NPC (@MPIbp @CiidHeidelberg).

Video by S. Rao: All-atom molecular dynamics simulation of the membrane-recruited ATG12-ATG5-ATG16L1-WIPI2 complex loaded with the ATG3-LC3 conjugate.
Congratulations to all authors from @LazarouLab, @TheHurleyLab and @HummerLab on this amazing publication in @ScienceAdvances!

S.Rao from our @HummerLab & coworkers resolve mechanism of LC3 delivery to the phagophore membrane, a key step in selective #autophagy, by combining #MDsimulations & experiments. Three-step targeting of ATG12-ATG5-ATG16L1 machinery leads to LC3 lipidation👉science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Scientists from the MPI of Molecular Physiology (@mpimoph) and from our Department of Theoretical #Biophysics (@HummerLab) have identifed a region in actin that functions as a “molecular backdoor” for phosphate to exit through!

Very excited that our manuscript is now online @NatureSMB!
nature.com/articles/s41594-0…
We show how actin filaments release inorganic phosphate (Pi) through a “molecular backdoor” and demonstrate that the backdoor is distorted in a disease-linked actin variant.

New preprint! @AutophaZeke’s PI3KC3-C1/RAB1A structure reveals that VPS15 is a GTP-binding pseudokinase that repurposes the kinase fold to regulate a myristoylation, and stabilize a large rotation in the VPS34 lipid kinase to promote membrane binding and PI(3)P synthesis!

🧵[1/6] We achieve high-confidence localization of a wide range of macromolecular complexes, their subunits, and functional substates through 3D template matching (TM) for #CryoET. This allows us to capture vaults transporting ribosomal cargo in situ!🤯 doi.org/10.1101/2023.09.05.5…
