I am excited to share our first Pt replica EM images. It took us a little while, but now we have establish the unroofing, drying and Pt coating workflow 🎉 Great work by our postdoc Luis Wong Dilworth! The image below shows the cytosolic membrane leaflet of a fibroblast 👇

I'd like to draw your attention to this truly excellent paper from the Taraska lab on cryoET of plasma membrane associated proteins. Everyone who is thinking about probes in the cryoET space should also see what they could do with ferritag (fig 6) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It’s incredibly exciting when a completely different approach supports an unexpected finding from your group. Recently, we published that LDLR is captured with EGFR and FGFR1 at clathrin sites after EGF stimulation. I love science.

In a new #ScienceSignaling study, researchers introduce extracellular #TurboID, a refinement of the popular proteomics tool that interrogates #ProteinProteinInteractions on the exterior cell membrane, and characterize interactions between #EGFR and #LDLR. scim.ag/3DgfJr9
Extracellular proximal interaction profiling by cell surface–targeted TurboID reveals LDLR as a partner of liganded EGFR
A modified form of TurboID identifies extracellular interactions between transmembrane proteins.
