In this article, we reveal the molecular mechanism by which a specific tubulin isotype renders cancer cells resistant to paclitaxel, a WHO-listed essential medicine for cancer treatment.

Very pleased that after a rigorous (and lengthy) review process, our paper visualizing how myosin generated forces modulate actin filament structure for mechanosensitive recogntion by α-catenin has appeared in @Nature

Very excited to share our latest preprint, where we visualize the impact of force on the catch bonding actin crosslinker α-actinin-4. Led by @alfredcchin, a great collaboration with Glen Hocky's lab.

which then determine the accessibility of the lumen to an luminal enzyme. This study opens new avenues to understanding the roles of microtubule building blocks in diverse biologically relevant mechano-environments.

regulate the accessibility of the confined microtubule lumen remain elusive.
In this paper, by employing optical tweezers, cryo-EM, computer modeling, and single-molecule fluorescence microscopy, we found that tubulin isotypes can regulate how microtubules respond to forces,

We are delighted to announce that the 3rd DivIDE Conference will take place from 22–25 September 2025 with a fantastic lineup of speakers.

Registration opens soon - stay tuned and help us spread the word!

We are looking forward to meet many of you in Barcelona! ☀️

[Alushin_Lab @Alushin_Lab]

Excited that the peer-reviewed version of our fascin structure paper is now out in @NatureSMB. Thanks very much to the referees for their constructive feedback. https://t.co/awfbPda6TN

[Shih-Chieh (Jeff) Ti @JeffTiLab]

With help from @RuiZhangWUSTL we have successfully adopted Rui's protocol to achieve high-resolution cryo-EM 3D reconstruction of undecorated microtubules polymerized from recombinant tubulin. Please see the following user-friendly version of the workflow.

[Rui Zhang @RuiZhangWUSTL]

I want to take the opportunity to mention that I've written a slightly more user-friendly tutorial for the original microtubule seam-search protocol, together with other useful MT processing tricks.

The latest research article from Ti Lab. We employed cryo-EM structural analysis, single-particle fluorescence microscopy, and recombinant tubulin to reveal how tubulin acetyltransferases modify the K40 residue inside the microtubule lumen. (1/N)
