A new preprint from the lab. I won't do a tweetorial until this is peer reviewed, but I think it's a banger, led by @JedNzy. It's about Rubisco and what chaperones are really for. He's on the market, get him while you can. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Die aller♥️lichsten Glückwünsche🍾🥂auch von uns an Jan Schuller, Wissenschaftler👨🏼‍🔬bei LOEWE-Tree-M & zuvor bereits beim ehem. LOEWE-Zentrum SYNMIKRO, zu seinem #Explorationsstipendium der Boehringer Ingelheim Stiftung! @synmikro.bsky.social @loewe-tree-m.bsky.social.

‼️ Exciting new preprint from a close collaboration with Kylie Walters' group. Our study maps the binding sites of key regulators of the proteasome in situ. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Finally online! Our latest research is out @nature.com: We show that non-antibiotic drugs can disrupt colonization resistance, raising the risk of enteric infections. rdcu.be/ewwrG

Amazing paper, the best of two worlds- combination of high resolution cryoEM and small proteins - posttranslational Regulation of the core bioenergetic machinery of methanogenesis by a small protein! Well done Tristan and Eva!!👍🥂🥂 @schullerjm.bsky and @Schmitz-Streit lab - possible through @dfg.de

Proud to present the lab's latest work. The full structure of the sodium translocating methyltransferase (Mtr) bound to a small oxygen-responsive small protein MtrI. Work by Tristan and together with @schmitzstreitslab.bsky.social . www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.06.02.657420v1

Our structural core gene pipeline Unicode is now published at GBE 📄 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/... Please also check out @dongwookkim.bsky.social’s 🧵 bsky.app/profile/dong...

Check out our latest preprint on small proteins with big impact: MtrR fine-tunes energy metabolism in M.mazei by modulating the Mtr complex in response to H₂. Great work of Tim Habenicht + @SPP2002 collegues + @schullerjm.bsky.social - congrats TIM, 2. step to PhD! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Pleased to share my very general review of Photosynthesis now published in Nature Reviews Mol Cell Biol 🌞🌱 rdcu.be/em1lz Hopefully a useful primer for Postgrad and undergrad students

EtfD links beta oxidation to OxPhos in mycobacteria - recent work suggests that targeting EtfD could shorten #tubeculosis treatment. But how does EtfD work? And how can you assay its activity? In his final PhD manuscript @courbongautier.bsky.social provides answers! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We've updated our AFESM website to now include biome filtering, allowing exploration of protein structures adapted to specific environments. 🌐 afesm.foldseek.com Read more about the work in the skeetorial 🦋 bsky.app/profile/mart... or our preprint 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🌱 Excited to share that I will start my lab at EPFL, CH this June supported by a @snsf.ch Starting Grant! ramakrishna.ch We are interested in plant mineral nutrition and will deep-dive into the fine-tuned mechanisms employed by plants to adapt to abiotic stresses such as salinity. #newPI #plantsci

Our paper: Structure and evolution of photosystem I in the early-branching cyanobacterium Anthocerotibacter panamensis is out now in PNAS! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Great collab with the labs of Ming-Yang Ho and Chris Girsiel.

Incredible work to understand CO adaption by an highly unusual mechanism in one of our favourite anaerobes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is the most efficient interview I've ever given in my whole life. Clocked in at 7 minutes. Chef's kiss! Thanks, Ed Cara at @gizmodo.com!

#MicroSky with this author, karen lloyd, this is sure to be an entertaining read. and an exciting one at that...

Interesting thread 🧵 from @georghochberg.bsky.social dissecting the evolution of nitrogenases from cofactors of methane-producing enzymes. The “molecular paleontology” possible with modern technology is so cool. 🧪🧶🧬

How does nature build a light-powered water-splitting machine that makes life on our planet possible?🌍 …very carefully and step by step!🏗️🚧 Congrats to @schullerjm.bsky.social and collabs on this exciting structure of a Photosystem II assembly intermediate! 🧪🧶🧬🌾🔬

Happy to present the lab latest work, today from the green-side. The ultimate PSII assembly intermediate that directly precedes incorporation of the Mn4O5Ca cluster and formation of the OEC. Psb32 binds to PsbV, challenging the assumption the extrinsic subunits all associate spontaneously in-vivo.

“The Website” is here! It can be intimidating getting into analysis of #CryoET data, and software is evolving all the time👩‍💻🚀. @phaips.vd.st & @florentwaltz.bsky.social put our lab’s workflows into an online guide. We hope this helps lower the bar to joining #TeamTomo. Feedback much appreciated! 🧪🧶🧬🔬

Exciting work by Ribbe & Hu lab demonstrating the in vivo reduction of N2 by L-cluster containing Nif(EN)2 inside E. coli: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... This finding suggests a smaller minimal gene set for the heterologous expression of #nitrogenase and an easier route to synthetic #N2-fixation

You want to start tomography? Solve structures inside cells? Reach Nyquist 😳 ? @phaips.vd.st and I have a website for you! tomoguide.github.io You'll find a tutorial on how to reconstruct tomograms, pick particles and do subtomogram averaging, using different software! Hope it will be useful !

This 🧵 about the evolutionary implications by my good friend Georg the mastermind behind evolutionary analysis and understanding is a must read for everyone who wants to know how methanogenesis and N2 fixation are evolutionary connected. It's quite an evolutionary bomb.

This is a wild paper. The anaerobic biochemistry is definitely worth your while (and beyond me to explain), but let me try to explain why this is also an evolutionary bombshell. This is about how nitrogen fixation evolved as we know it.

Here's what my former employer @tuberlin.bsky.social wrote about our work (🇩🇪) www.tu.berlin/news/pressem...

Unser Heisenberg-finanzierter Arbeitsgruppenleiter Dr. Sven Stripp (links hinten) hat in Zusammenarbeit mit Kolleg*innen der @unimarburg.bsky.social einen Artikel in @nature.com publiziert. Die @unipotsdam.bsky.social berichtet: www.uni-potsdam.de/de/nachricht...

I am incredibly excited to share my first-ever research paper that has just been published in Nature! I thank my fellow co-first authors @fidelormz.bsky.social and @rnfr2d2.bsky.social and @schullerjm.bsky.social for leading this project. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

For decades, how methanogenic archaea activate the MCR complex to produce methane remained a mystery. Today in Nature, we report the high-resolution cryo-EM structure of the MCR activation complex! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

One of the largest open questions in anaerobic metabolism solved. The best work of my lab yet, performed by the incredible hard working, talented and motivated coworkers: @fidelormz.bsky.social , @sophia-pa.bsky.social and @rnfr2d2.bsky.social. I am a proud PI today! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very proud to share our latest work from the lab. Together with @kailalab.bsky.social and Müller Lab. We found such an elegant mechanism - Charge follows charge. The positive Na+ follows the negative electron across the membrane and back. rdcu.be/ecCmr

The lab got three papers in various states of acceptance today. What a day! The lab is on 🔥🔥🔥. Just have to shout it from the roof. I have the best team in the world! Thank you. Time to celebrate! 🎉
