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!
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
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)

@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...
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
@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!
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!
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
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.
