starting to understand the structural bases of CONCR lncRNA in DNA replication and chromatid cohesion. A collaboration between @MaiteHuarteLab @FMorenoHerrero @OscarLlorcaCNIO @ChillonIsabel and the support of @FundlaCaixa

A closer look at the mechanism of microtubule nucleation💫. Thrilled to share our new work revealing CM1-activated gTURC. Great collaboration with @sernarina, @DeBritoClaudia, Thomas Surrey and @LudersLab.

Our take on the struture of the R2T complex 🌱 Now out in @Structure_CP!

A fun collab led by @alopezperrote and the @AlabadiDavid lab at @IBMCP .

The γTuRC saga goes on!

This time, we used cryoEM to describe how CDK5RAP2 helps nucleating microtubules by activating the γTuRC nucleator.

Another tour de force led by @sernarina and Fabian Zimmermann and a fun collab with @LudersLab @IRBBarcelona.

And a movie with those beautiful high-res densities 🤓

And also... 🔥pre-print alert🔥

We take a look at our favourite system in plants🌱, the R2T complex, an HSP90 co-chaperone.

A study led by @alopezperrote (@CNIOStopCancer) and Alberto Palacios (from @AlabadiDavid's lab at @IBMCP).

Another fruitful collaboration with our friends in M. Palacín's lab. Link below 🔗👇

A study led by María Martínez Molledo (@CNIOStopCancer) and Josep Rullo (@IRBBarcelona) elucidating the cryoEM structure of Asc1/CD98hc transporter.

Supported by @FundlaCaixa

And here goes the link to the paper in @NatureComms 📰

Hi, we have uploaded a preprint on @biorxiv_biochem that you may find interesting. It's the result of a fruitful collaboration (@IBMCP) with @LlorcaLab (@CNIOStopCancer) aimed at understanding the role of the HSP90 cochaperone R2T in plants.👇

Double celebration today in the lab! 🎉

Today, our senior postdoc María I. Daudén received the "AECC researcher" grant, followed by our undergrad Celia Varela, also receiving the "AECC lab internship" grant. Proud of you!

PAPER ALERT🔥
We took a deep dive into the microtubule 🔍 using cryoEM ❄️🔬to capture the earliest steps of nucleation by the γTuRC complex. With @sernarina and @DeBritoClaudia leading the way.
Proud of our collab with the @surrey_lab at the @CRGenomica !

We are so incredibly proud of @sernarina. Not only is she a cryoEM powerhouse, but she's also a caring mentor and labmate. Definitely a role model. Thanks for your hard work 💕

@sernarina When your paper gets into @ScienceMagazine we take the red carpet out in the lab...
