I am happy our recent study on the human sperm head-tail junction is now online. We find that SUN5 form an hexagonal lattice at the nuclear membrane, rationalising how mutations in SUN5 lead to infertility. Great work of @cryonas.bsky.social !

SUN5 forms a regular protein lattice reinforcing the sperm head-tail junction
Linker of nucleo- and cytoskeleton (LINC) complexes reside in the nuclear envelope, the double-membrane surrounding the nucleus, where they establish a physical bridge between nucleus and cytoplasm. L...

Latest preprint from the lab, many years in the making!

By combining #cryoEM with #AlphaFold3 modelling, we propose that norovirus NS3 forms a transmembrane RNA translocase.

This could have big implications for our understanding of viral replication & assembly (🧵)

I am honoured to receive a Vici grant from the Dutch Research Council to study sperm functional maturition at the female reproductive tract and to study how sperm establish interaction with an egg
