Thrilled to share our latest work, led by @aryantaheri.bsky.social and Julia Peukes! Using cryo-EM and cryo-ET, we reveal how KIF21B’s distal tail engages multiple tubulin dimers along a protofilament, enabling persistent microtubule attachment and crosslinking. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Thrilled to share our collab led by Grace Hibshman with the Shipman lab! Type IX retron-Kva2 structure reveals phage detection via an HTH fold, not a primary sequence. We computationally designed triggers that program bacteria cell death, pointing toward designer antimicrobials.

🧵 New paper alert! Today on bioRxiv, we show how a microtubule (MT) associated protein, MTCL1, links 2 regulatory layers: mechanical MT stabilization and writing of then tubulin code. A multi-lab effort driven by Juan Perez-Bertoldi and Julie Dang spanning atoms to organisms. 1/n

Excited to share our new preprint with the Yildiz and Janke labs on how Ndc80 and Ska complexes cooperate on microtubules through a SKA3 tether and tubulin tail interface to stabilize attachment! Congrats to Ju and Ipsita for leading this exciting study! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
