We are excited to announce the first in-cell structure of a LINC complex within a native nuclear envelope at subnanometer resolution!! #In-cell cryo-ET + #atomistic MD simulations! @tomdendooven.bsky.social et al!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This structure is absolutely _nuts_. Lipids are captured marching through the tunnel

a, Overview of the lipids observed in the LPD-3 complex, shown perpendicular to the membrane. Proteins are shown as a cartoon representation and the uninterpreted cryo-EM density is shown in orange. LPD-3 is coloured teal, Spigot is coloured yellow and lipids are shown as black sticks. b, Magnified view of the tunnel entrance, coloured as in a. c, Clipped view to show the lipid-transport tunnel. LPD-3 and Spigot are shown as a surface representation, coloured as in a, and lipids are shown as white sticks. d, The organization of lipids within the tunnel. Ionizable residues that interact with lipid head groups are labelled and shown as sticks. Lipids are shown as grey or gold sticks. e, The LPD-3 complex viewed parallel to the membrane. The arrows indicate the location of the four hydration portals. Modelled proteins are shown as a surface representation and are coloured as in a. f, Magnified view of a lipid within the tunnel. Residues that interact with the lipid headgroup are shown as sticks. g, Sliced views of the LPD-3 tunnel, showing the locations of the hydration portals. Slices are sequential from left to right and progress from RBG-1 to RBG-6.

Delighted to share our reanalysis of cryo-EM data in EMPIAR-10930, now at: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... ; revealing the ALK-ALKAL2 assembly with 2:1 stoichiometry and resolving the conundrum introduced by the originally reported 2:2 complex. ALK/LTK-cytokine signalling getting clearer!

Reanalysis of cryo-EM data reveals ALK-cytokine assemblies with both 2:1 and 2:2 stoichiometries

The mechanistic understanding of the complex between ALK kinase and its cytokine ligand ALKAL2 has been complicated by reports of diverse stoichiometries (2:1 vs 2:2). This study reanalyzes cryo-EM da...

The @structurabio.bsky.social team have been preparing *Amazing* workshops and tutorials on all things related to cryo-EM image analysis, demonstrating deep talent in communication in addition to software design. If you're interested in learning about cryo-EM do yourself a favour and have a look!

I sometimes forget how flexible proteins are. It becomes really apparent when you use NMR states for an animation. That poor cofactor is getting pushed around a lot 😅 #sciart #blender3d #biocatalysis
