🧪 We have a new publication out in @NatureComms. 🧪Great collaborative work involving @KclRandallMol, @dsb_unipd, @PhD_DSB_UniPD, @cnr_scitec, @humantechnopole. Here's the link www.nature.com/articles/s41...

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. The authors use cryo-EM to reveal a missing structural transition state of the kinesin...

Still smiling (mostly 😁) after 86 hours of (bio)chemistry. It was a pleasure teaching you and all the best MED2!

A position is available in my lab in Padova. Details on steinerlab.org. Feel free to share and happy holidays.

I will soon be opening a position in my group in Padova. Topic is mechanistic enzymology with cool serial X-ray crystallography, electron and neutron crystallography work... plenty of opportunities for collaborations with leading groups. Get in touch with me roberto.steiner@unipd.it if interested.

Delighted to use my first bsky post to share this collaborative piece of work with the Atherton lab www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... If you like #kinesin #cryo-EM and #microtubules hopefully you'll find it of interest.

Microtubule association induces a Mg-free apo-like ADP pre-release conformation in kinesin-1 that is unaffected by its autoinhibitory tail

Kinesin-1 is a processive dimeric ATP-driven motor that transports vital intracellular cargos along microtubules (MTs). If not engaged in active transport, kinesin-1 limits futile ATP hydrolysis by ad...
