Don't ignore the "contaminants" on your grids ! We noticed this filament while solving the S. sanguinis T4P structure during my PhD. It turned out to be an incredible eDNA-protease assembly: literally a suspension bridge of proteins & DNA ! 🌉 Happy to finally share this story.

We're super excited to share MissAlignment: a new ML-based approach to reference-free tilt series alignment, spearheaded by @martenchaillet.bsky.social. We think it's going to make your cryo-ET life a lot better.

New preprint. In S. sanguinis, a C5a peptidase-like protease (ScpH) polymerizes along eDNA, turning it into a catalytic biofilm scaffold.
Great work from @robinanger.bsky.social in our lab, with Pelicic lab @lcbofficiel.bsky.social

Fantastic lineup of keynote speakers. @marionjasnin.bsky.social @amjjbonvin.bsky.social @olallalab.bsky.social
Our latest T7SS study is now out in Science Advances!
We solved the cryoEM structure of the T7SSb core unit (T7bCU) composed of YukB, YukC, and YukD from Bacillus subtilis, revealing how these components assemble within the secretion machinery.
