Our first lab paper is out! We identify and solve the first structure of the SND3 translocon involved in fungal membrane protein insertion. Congratulations @tzujingyang.bsky.social, and our colleagues @saumyakm.bsky.social, @hummerlab.bsky.social and Julian Langer. Read more ⬇️ and ➡️ rdcu.be/eNgIO
SNDing proteins into the membrane! Our new publication from @melaniemcdowell.bsky.social ’s group identifies the SND3 protein as a new route for membrane protein insertion! 🍄 📘 Read more here: www.mpg.de/25599408/102... Image: Louise Duever.

Happy to finally be on BlueSky (not sure what took me so long!). Feels like recovering something dear that I thought was lost 🦋💕
As a first post, it seems fitting to share a graphical abstract of my PhD project. Incase you missed it, check-out our publication here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hello bluesky, we’re excited to be here! To start off, we want to share our latest work on the FDX2-bound core ISC complex, which is now published in Nature Comms.

Congrats to @ralfsteinhilper.bsky.social and everyone else involved! 🎉

Two-stage binding of mitochondrial ferredoxin-2 to the core iron-sulfur cluster assembly complex - Nature Communications
De novo [2Fe-2S] cluster synthesis by the mitochondrial ISC complex requires electrons from ferredoxin-2 (FDX2). The authors map FDX2 binding to the core ISC complex, showing that FDX2 can bind in two...
