Delighted that our story on chromatin architecture inside human cells is now published — the last chapter of my PhD. It was a pleasure working with @sergiocruzleon.bsky.social, @johannesbetz.bsky.social, and everyone involved. #teamtomo www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Molecular architecture of heterochromatin at the nuclear periphery of primary human cells - Nature Communications
The 3D organisation of chromatin inside a human cell is still not fully resolved. Here the authors reveal that in situ cryo-ET resolves individual nucleosomes and predicts DNA linkers, thus showing th...

📢 (1/2) Excited to share the first preprint from my PostDoc! We developed UbSeRP to map co-translational ubiquitination in a translatome-wide, revealing thousands of quality control sites, and how they reshape with aging. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #proteostasis #ribosomes #preprint

Ubiquitin selective ribosome profiling reveals systematic principles of co-translational quality control
Protein biogenesis is a stress- and error-sensitive process that can lead to nascent protein misfolding and aggregation, challenging cellular proteostasis. Co-translational ubiquitination (CTU) is a c...

Updated architectural model of the NPC from our lab, starred by bsky-less Agnieszka Obarska-Kosińska. Using cryo ET, XL-MS and modeling, we identify novel nucleoporins, among those the mRNA export complex TREX-2! Check out the preprint on biorxiv #TeamMassSpec #TeamTomo

Metabolically regulated proteasome supramolecular organization in situ
Structural steps along the assembly of proteasome storage granules—membraneless organelles that form in response to metabolic shifts in yeast—are visualized inside cells by cryo-electron tomography. Inactive 26S proteasomes oligomerize into trimers, which assemble into paracrystalline arrays that serve as reservoirs of fully assembled proteasomes under conditions of low energy, ready for reactivation when glucose is restored.

LLOMe has long been used to study lysosomal damage, yet how it works has remained a mystery. Using cryo-electron tomography, we show it forms amyloid structures inside lysosomes that mechanically rupture membranes – revealing a new paradigm for lysosomal failure. 🔗 doi.org/10.64898/202... #CryoET

Take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to become part of the SCALE community! Several professorships and group leader positions are available at Goethe University and FIAS. We are looking for professors in the fields of molecular microbiology, cellular biochemistry, and molecular biochemistry.

It’s out! Using cryo-ET in Dicty cells, we take a fresh in situ look at vaults. Surprisingly, we uncover vaults associated with ER and NE membranes, and find that many vaults enclose ribosomes in defined orientations, opening new avenues to their cellular function! www.biorxiv.org/lookup/conte...

Just published! We share an open-source workflow to measure membrane thickness from tomograms, including a tutorial with 3D visualizations. We analyze thickness variations across organelles and reflect on where to define a membrane boundary. @becklab.bsky.social #teamtomo rupress.org/jcb/article/...
