A biochemistry PhD student trying to work on Cryo-ET. Hoping for the best but not (yet) ready for the worst.

Excited to share new preprint from my lab Max Planck Institute of Biophysics in collaboration with #CamillaBjörkegren’s lab at Karolinska Institute! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… (0/n) In this work, we reveal that Smc5/6 complex is a DNA loop extruding motor.

My postdoctoral work in #CDlab is finally out NatureStructMolBiol! In this work, we used single-molecule imaging to study how condensin navigates the under- and overwound DNA states (DNA supercoiling) abundant throughout the genome (1/3). 👇👇👇

Our new cryo-EM structure explains how the MRN complex can act both as DNA double-strand break sensor & DNA tethering device, read the paper here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1gK103vVUPK9… Huge thanks to all collaboration partners W.Roos, B.Steigenberger and C. Junge! #cryoEM, #DNArepair, #MRN






(1/8) I am thrilled to share the latest work from @BisLightyear Amar Deep from Kevin Corbett Eugene Kim lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We show that the bacterial SMC Wadjet complex cleaves plasmid DNA through loop extrusion.

Excited to see our Molecular Cell cover illustrating dimers of Smc5/6 recognizing transcription-induced positive supercoiling! Made by Camilla Björkegren.



Our work on SMC Wadjet complex is finally out Molecular Cell ! Congrats to @BisLightyear Amar Deep Kevin Corbett & co.!
