Our latest review on kainate receptors, a subtype of neurotransmitter receptors, providing an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of their structural features and gating mechanisms. @sobolevsky.bsky.social

This one is a bit of a departure from the usual and definitely a work in progress! We found that by using ab initio reconstruction at very high res, in very small steps, we could crack some small structures that had eluded us - e.g. 39kDa iPKAc (EMPIAR-10252), below. Read on for details... 1/x

Curious to know how does auxiliary subunit Neto2 modulate kainate receptor (KAR) function? Read our latest study describing GluK2-Neto2 complex-captured in both its activated and true apo states. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
