In this thread we will explain you how we put together #SPT#SMLM#cryoET#cryoCLEM + #modeling to learn about the higher-order mechanism that controls constitutive exocytosis

Join this amazing team at @UPFbiomed in Barcelona for a PhD decoding fungi evolution in extreme environments❄️ Cool microscopy with even cooler people!
Amazing example of team work! Big thanks to @sasmeek, Sebas, @GallegoLab and collaborators. Are you curious about the higher-order mechanism that controls exocytosis?👇🏼

The article leaves unanswered questions: How can exocyst tether vesicles at 45 nm of the membrane if its structure is 32 nm long? Why exocyst and SNAREs cohabit for 6 s? How Sec18 dismantles the ExHOS? Which is the role of metastable states and how is the transition ctrl?...

We just opened a PhD position to investigate biophysics in eukaryotes that grow in the cryosphere (glaciers, snow, Mars...)! If you like advanced imaging, evolution and quantitative biology, we are looking for you! Apply here👇

This project was led by 3 amazing researchers: @_martapuig, Sebastian Ortiz and @sasmeek
with tons of help from our group at @UPFbiomed and the best collaborators ever:
@JonasRies, @carlomanzo78 and Daniel Castaño-Díez labs.
Thank you reader!
Feedback and RT appreciated
Interested in imaging protein suprastructures and membranes dynamics in situ? Are you "preoccupied" by the exocyst? Read our latest preprint where we time-resolved the choreography of a flexible exocyst higher-order structure and the vesicle in exocytosis

We were surprised that after fusion the ExHOS, with a radius of 38 nm, remains stable on the plasma membrane until it is disassembled by a reaction that requires the AAA ATPase Sec18! Which is the exact mechanism involved?? Well, this is hopefully to be shown in future threads
