We revealed, through cryo-EM and functional analyses, that the small lipoprotein LptM stabilizes LptD at a late stage of LptDE complex maturation in the outer membrane. Miyazaki et al., Cell Reports (2025) www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Just posted on bioRxiv! We reveal the structure of the MurJ/LysM (JM) complex. A small phage protein, LysM (37 residues), binds to MurJ like a wedge and freezes its motion. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I made a (quite incomplete) starter pack of Japanese or in-Japan researchers. Self-identify, and I will add you! 日本人/日本にいる研究者のスターターパックを作りました。リプしていただければ追加します！ go.bsky.app/7kMz86x

We captured the process of a substrate protein through a membrane using HS-AFM. A string-like protein (peptide) is being translocated by a single SecYEG-SecA. Kanaoka et al., Nature communications (2025) www.nature.com/articles/s41...
