Graduate student at Caltech. Studying membrane protein biogenesis and quality control in the Voorhees lab. Sometimes I hike or travel.

Another hard-won project from the lab. We've been trying to understand how proteins get into the mitochondrial outer membrane for almost a decade, and hopefully we're finally getting closer. The structure, evolution, and mechanism of MTCH2: https://t.co/gwFV9ya11V

@WillRosencrans @BMBCaltech Thanks will!

@pleinerlab @Stanford @Stanford_MCP @SingalBharti @MahamayaBiswal @CS59793 @CaseyGifford Very cool to see such a strong biogenesis effect from a nanobody!

[Taylor Stevens @tstevens5000]

Highly recommend working with Stefan!

[PetrovicLab @ UCLA @petroviclab]

Excited to share that I'm starting a new research group at @uclachem and @cnsiatucla!

We'll focus on the molecular architecture of tight junctions - barriers crucial for human health - using biochemical reconstitution, cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography, and cell-based assays.

@_prashantbhat @Nature Nice work, congrats!

[Prashant Bhat @_prashantbhat]

A long sought after hypothesis has been that organizing biomolecules in and around nuclear bodies is essential for functional RNA processing. We now provide direct evidence of this in @Nature for nuclear speckles and mRNA splicing. Check out this thread!

Cool project to work on, congrats to all!

[Gayathri Muthukumar @GayathriArunaM]

Excited to share my first paper from grad school out today in @MolecularCell! We systematically define biogenesis pathways for alpha-helical OMM proteins triaged by the NAC and TTC1 chaperone complexes for polytopic and signal-anchored proteins (1/2).

@guna_alina @NIGMS @voorheeslab @JswLab @MRC_LMB Woohoo 🎉

[Clemons Lab @Caltech @clemonslab]

https://t.co/pAO0VoJ2cZ congrats to @annakarenorta @naditasofia and the rest of the @clemonslab who made this story possible. This is a long time coming.

[Taylor Stevens @tstevens5000]

@annakarenorta @clemonslab Great work, congrats!

[Anna Karen Orta @annakarenorta]

We are absolutely thrilled to finally share our new structure from @clemonslab of escape mechanism of the smallest phages (φX174) by breaching the peptidoglycan layer, now out in Science! https://t.co/haFGabV5eE

🧵 In this thread, I'll give you a sneak peek of the YES complex👇🏼

[Taylor Stevens @tstevens5000]

@markabelan Nice graphic! Few minor inaccuracies: (1) eukaryotes evolved from archaea not cyanobacteria, (2) choanoflagellates are not a direct ancestor but rather a sister group to animals, unikont, opisthokont, or amorphae would be fit better in that spot.

[Rebecca Voorhees @voorheeslab]

Our lab is looking for postdocs! 🌴🌞

We value scientific and cultural diversity and collaborative science.

If you think you could excited about membranes, mitochondria, or microscopes🔬, please get in touch!

Check out our nanobody-based protein purification protocol. We’ve had great results using this for a variety of applications including cryo-EM sample prep, IDing interaction partner via mass-spec, and functional/biochemical experiments. Very clean and high yield!

Purifying eukaryotic proteins & their complexes at the scale & purity needed for structural, functional or mass spec characterization can be a pain! Our new protocol preprint https://t.co/J5tBObCUwR describes how anti-GFP & ALFA tag nanobodies can make your life easier (1/6)
