Microsecond Time-Resolved Cryo-Electron Microscopy

Oliver Florian Harder

Recently, single-particle cryo-electron microscopy emerged as a technique capable of determining protein structures at near-atomic resolution and resolving protein dynamics with a temporal resolution ranging from second to milliseconds. This thesis describ ...

The tip protein PAAR is required for the function of the type VI secretion system

Nicolas Olmo Flaugnatti

Bacteria are constantly competing to colonize crowded ecological niches, such as the human gut. The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a critical bacterial weapon in this warfare. It resembles a crossbow with a poisoned arrow allowing bacteria to inject to ...

Cryo-EM structure of the extended type VI secretion system sheath-tube complex

Jian Wang, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

The bacterial type VI secretion system (T6SS) uses contraction of a long sheath to quickly thrust a tube with associated effectors across membranes of eukaryotic and bacterial cells(1-5). Only limited structural information is available about the inherentl ...

Cell-free reconstitution reveals centriole cartwheel assembly mechanisms

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Pierre Gönczy, Paul Guichard, Mircea Ioan Iacovache, Virginie Hamel, Niccolo Banterle, Isabelle Fluckiger, Veronika Nemcíková Villímová

How cellular organelles assemble is a fundamental question in biology. The centriole organelle organizes around a nine-foldsymmetrical cartwheel structure typically 100 nm high comprising a stack of rings that each accommodates nine homodimers of SAS-6 pro ...

Basal body structure in Trichonympha

Pierre Gönczy, Paul Guichard

Trichonympha is a symbiotic flagellate of many species of termites and of the wood-feeding cockroach. Remarkably, this unicellular organism harbors up to over ten thousand flagella on its surface, which serve to propel it through the viscous environment of ...

Total Sample Conditioning and Preparation of Nanoliter Volumes for Electron Microscopy

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

Electron microscopy (EM) entered a new era with the emergence of direct electron detectors and new nanocrystal electron diffraction methods. However, sample preparation techniques have not progressed and still suffer from extensive blotting steps leading t ...

Branched Lateral Tail Fiber Organization in T5-Like Bacteriophages DT57C and DT571/2 is Revealed by Genetic and Functional Analysis

Ricardo Cesar Guerrero Ferreira, Nikolai Prokhorov

The T5-like siphoviruses DT57C and DT571/2, isolated from horse feces, are very closely related to each other, and most of their structural proteins are also nearly identical to T5 phage. Their LTFs (L-shaped tail fibers), however, are composed of two prot ...
