Microtubule association induces a Mg-free apo-like ADP pre-release conformation in kinesin-1 that is unaffected by its autoinhibitory tail - Nature Communications Kinesin-1 utilizes ATP-driven conformational changes to transport vital intracellular cargoes along microtubules.

Excited to see our @natcomms.nature.com paper out! #Cryo-EM reveals a #microtubule stimulated ADP-release transition state of #kinesin 1. The auto-inhibitory tail has no affect on motor domain conformations. Focussed subunit processing helps! #cryoEM #microtubules

There's a post-doc position going in our group based at the Randall Centre, KCL, UK.

The project aims to determine how viruses manipulate host cell cytoskeletons to enhance their replicative capabilities, using cryo-EM/cryo-ET/FIB-SEM.

Cryo Electron Microscopy Facility Manager

Hi all- we are searching for a new manager/operator for KCL's Cryo-EM Structural Discovery Facility: a JEOL cryoARM200 + k3 and sample preparation equipment. It's producing excellent high-resolution data using serialEM and Gatan Latitude (EPU-like)!

Apply below!
