My lab is interested in elucidating the activity of virulence factors from pathogenic bacteria so that we can gain novel molecular insight into eukaryotic signaling systems. One of these factors encodes a Fic domain that exhibits diverse metazoans the Fic domain is used for AMPylation to maintain homeostasis in cells when under stress. Recently, we
Following the discovery in a Japanese recycling facility of a bacterium capable of breaking down the man-made plastic polyethylene terephthalate (PET), we turned our attention towards uncovering the detailed workings of enzymes that can perform this remarkable reaction. Found in single-use drinks bottles, packaging, and clothing, PET can take centuries to decompose and is accumulating
High-resolution in situ Structures within Mitochondria Mitochondria are essential for ATP production via oxidative phosphorylation, involving respiratory complexes within the inner membrane. Despite extensive in vitro studies, understanding their mechanisms in physiological environment is challenging due to loss of the native environment during purification. Here, we directly image porcine mitochondria by developing a high-resolution in-situ
