Congratulations, Oli!
Truly fantastic work. The more small protein research, the better!
Also, please say hello to Kookju as well.

I carried out over the past two years. It’s very disappointing that my contribution leading to this achievement wasn’t recognized.

That said, I wish the authors and everyone involved the best of luck. If you’re interested in the paper, please reach out to the corresponding authors listed there.

The structures and maps in the paper have been newly deposited.
I was also told that the author list consists of people who directly participated in the actual paper writing, and they believe this is the right approach.

I contacted the first author and received specific reasons:
The data was newly processed after I left the company, and there is additional data as well, with ongoing data collection planned for better results.

At this point, it seems like including my name in the author list wouldn’t have much meaning. I just want to hear from the paper authors why I had to be excluded from this result. 3/3

After receiving this response, I'm so bewildered that I can't think straight. Looking at the paper's author contributions, 'H.K.' is included. Of course, there's no name corresponding to H.K. in the author list. 2/3

We tried to run RELION but encountered problems during data processing.
I’m not sure if some of the authors have much experience with RELION, but I can ask about that.

As you said, PLK1 is probably too small, making particle alignment very difficult.
Anyway, I will discuss this with the authors about how to address the issue. I will keep you updated.
Once again, thank you.

Thanks for the kind words, Oli.
The last time I processed the PLK1 map, it looked like the images I attached.
We also added 30° tilted micrographs for processing. It improved the orientation diagnostics results. However, the map is still anisotropic.

but I could not finish any of them and it looks like they wrote the paper with the same data I was working on.

Anyway, I will contact the authors to bring up some issues discussed here.

BTW, MBP structure is available.
