We also analysed SPEF1-KO cilia by cryo-ET to show that SPEF1 restricts C1 and C2 microtubule movement.

In the final version, we included a lot more data and analysis compared to the previous biorxiv version. We achieved a 4.6 Angstrom resolution of the microtubule by subtomogram averaging of MT-SPEF1 complexes.

Proudly present our new preprint on my first post here. We performed SPA on the ciliary tip and identify 7 proteins. Among them, we found the conserved protein SPEF1 at the microtubule seam. In vitro assays show that SPEF1 binds to the seam and stablizes microtubules.

The Bui lab Twitter will stop and we are migrating to Mastodon. Anyway, the last post is to thank the @Beck_Laboratory and @jankosinski @aobarska for the new wall art decoration. NPC rules :

Taking forever but finally here. We identified close to 40 MIPs in Tetrahymena doublet. Specifically, the MIPs at the outer junction (CFAP77, OJ2 & OJ3). @dynein_awk @TheRealCSBlack @ahmad__khalifa

My first contribution to #TeamTomo . Script to help visualize the subtomogram orientations from #Relion star file inside its tomogram using ChimeraX. Thanks to @AlisterBurt for eulerangles & starfile module.

Gotta start them young !!! Showed her a cytoskeleton animation from Youtube and introduce her to microtubule manual picking.

Finally, our paper on the proteomics of the central pairs of Chlamydomonas is out. This is an Honour research project turning into a Master Project from Daniel Dai, a student in the lab supervised by my former postdoc @Yoshi__Ichikawa

I wanted to buy a poster of patent art of Transmission EM for home decoration but couldn't find a good one. When #StayAtHome, I did it myself. The bigger images are in the following tweets.

We have a lot of funs with the lessons with activities and mini-lessons from. The kids really enjoy some thinkings and doing some sciences. All the lessons are now available until June.
