Congrats to IPI postdoctoral fellow Nirakar Basnet for co-authoring a recent paper @natcomms.nature.com with former colleagues at the Mizuno Lab. They resolved the #cryoEM structure of #SSNA-1, providing a detailed look at its self-assembly and role in #embryonicdevelopment ➡️
Structural insights into SSNA1 self-assembly and its microtubule binding for centriole maintenance - Nature Communications
Cryo-EM shows SSNA-1 forms anti-parallel coiled-coils with a triple-helical junction for microtubule binding. Disrupting self-assembly or deleting SSNA-1 reduces C. elegans embryonic viability and…
