We have a new 4-year postdoctoral position available working between our lab an the @WoolfsonLab @BristolBiochem @BristolChem applying protein design approaches to control intracellular transport. More info on flyer. Get in touch!

[Anne Straube (bsky: anne.mechanochemistry.org) @AnneStraube]

Our paper explaining why two motor proteins that walk in opposite direction depend on each other is finally out. Great collaboration with @Carter_Lab, initiated by @zwetza, beautiful structural biology by @fe_aali. A thread 🧵 (1/9) https://t.co/nCTGmgu4Yl

[Mark Dodding @MarkDodding]

We have three PhD projects with motor-cytoskeleton theme though collaborations with three new(ish) PIs at @BristolBiochem supported by @SWBio_DTP
with Berni Carroll (lysosome transport), @fe_aali (endocytosis) and @jessica_a_cross (protein design)

@GirishRMali Congratulations Grish and team!

@AnneStraube @Jon_D_Lane One for recent @BristolBiochem graduates

@MAFesenko @ChisatoTsuji @BristolBiochem @UoBrisPPN Thanks Mary. Yes, there are systems where microtubules drive the formation of protrusions that are on our list. However, there are also many images in the microtubule cryoET literature, that suggest (to me at least), that these structures may form quite frequently. Will be fun...

[Mark Dodding @MarkDodding]

Our latest paper on actin within platelet microtubules led by @ChisatoTsuji is now in print. https://t.co/3fwNOoo9Aa
Where else might those little turduckens 🦃🦆 be hiding? @BristolBiochem @UoBrisPPN

[Mark Dodding @MarkDodding]

@AnhHLe2702 @ChisatoTsuji @BristolBiochem @UoBrisPPN Thank you! We are hoping that with demonstration that they form under physiological conditions and capacity to work with them in vitro, we can make a good case now to go after the function. Let’s see!

[Mark Dodding @MarkDodding]

A great collaboration with @Daniellempaul @HersIngeborg @PaulVerkade @alastair_poole labs with great support from @GW4CryoEM, funded by @wellcometrust @ListerInstitute @BBSRC and @TheBHF

Great to see our work on manipulating kinesin-1 activity using protein design led by @jessica_a_cross in print. In collaboration with @WoolfsonLab. @BristolBiochem @BristolChem @BrisBioDesign

Really interesting work from McKenney lab on actin-microtubule crosstalk mediated by kinesin-1 and Nesprin-2G https://t.co/y5oL4E8x8O

[Mark Dodding @MarkDodding]

We have two new faculty/group leader positions available at @BristolBiochem at Lecturer/Senior lecturer /Associate Professor levels. Links below. One with a broadly defined 'omics' remit and the other anything Biochemistry, Biophysics, Molecular Cell Biology or Syn Bio. Join us!

[Journal of Cell Biology @JCellBiol]

Alexander Fellows, Andrew Carter et al @MRC_LMB show that individual #dynein motors can move the entire axon length during retrograde transport. In the anterograde direction, dynein & dynactin are transported separately, keeping them apart until required. https://t.co/ytonqThNFa

[Carter Lab @Carter_Lab]

If you are interested in joining my group to study how microtubule motors select their cargos (or vice versa) then please see the two adverts below. One is based on neuronal cell biology, the other on reconstitution and cryoEM.
