Congratulations to Maru & team on the lab’s latest pub! PP5 requires the molecular chaperone Hsp90 to dephosphorylate CRaf kinase and Hsp90 cochaperone Cdc37. Here, authors show how Hsp90 acts as a platform to allow for targeted dephosphorylation by PP5. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Check out the latest preprint from @andreafossati9 and @MozumdarDeepto on using SEC-MS to identify protein:protein interactions during jumbo phage infections! Congrats, team! #phage #jumbophage #secms
New preprint alert! Here we show how SEC-MS is a powerful tool for host pathogen interactions profiling. We applied it to Jumbophages, which are large bacterial viruses (>300 genes) holding great potential as antibiotics. What did we find? 1\n biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Please check out our latest publication from grad student @ENieweglowska on the self-assembly of the phiPA3 phage nucleus! Congrats to the whole team! @MmendezMoran @minkbaek @UWproteindesign @yifan_ucsf @joeBondyDenomy
Excited to share the, now published, final version of my grad school research! Here are a few PhuN highlights from the full story. 🧵 #phage #jumbophage #cryoem nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Check out our latest preprint! #CryoEM structures of immunophilins, FKBP51 and FKBP52, in complex with Hsp90 and the glucocorticoid receptor, demonstrating the FKBP co-chaperones directly bind an Hsp90 client to regulate client activity. From recent grad @ChariMN w/ Jill Johnson

High resolution cellular cryoET!
We optmized in situ cryoET to achieve 6 A reconstructions of mouse sperm doublets! The unique tertiary structures allow de novo protein identification of novel sperm proteins by computationally searching in the AlphaFold2 library of entire mouse proteome! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Check out our latest pre-print from postdoc Zhen Chen @ZhenChentccz on mammalian sperm axonemes revealed by in situ cryoET!
Our preprint on asymmetric axonemes of mammalian sperm revealed by FIB-SEM/cryoET: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Thanks for the support from the Vale lab and Agard lab! This work would not be possible without my amazing collaborators from the Lishko lab and Janelia Research Campus.

Check out our latest preprint showing that the major protein enclosing the Phage Nucleus (PhuN) forms a tetrameric lattice with C2 symmetry. The symmetry establishes 4 unique interfaces, two large enough to act as channels for small molecules, RNA, or even unfolded proteins.
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/…
