Next up in the Nisse game CSSB & EMBL Hamburg is Maxime (@BenKlr). He apparently left his lab bench unattended for too long. One has to admire the intricate design of the spider made of pipette tips and a 1.5 ml tube.

Job opening for a PostDoc! Our lab has a 2-year position open for structural biologists interested in studying membrane protein complexes in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Application is open until 16th Jan 2022. More details in link below: embl.org/jobs/position/…

We wish you all a merry Christmas and thank our lab members for their hard work and dedication throughout another year of this pandemic.

Only ten days left to apply!

Add your name! Registration is now open until 15 June and abstract submission until 15 August for EMBO Practical Course on Membrane Protein Expression, Purification and Characterization (mPEPC2), 5 – 12 September 2022 in Hamburg, Germany meetings.embo.org/event/22-mpepc2 #EMBOmpepc2

Fluffy (and tasty) surprise for the lab! Thanks to the Kotov bakery for these cute muffins. #SweetenTheScience

Here we present our latest EM structure from the lab! Take a look on biorxiv 😊 Cryo-EM structure of an atypical proton-coupled peptide transporter: Di- and tripeptide permease C biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We thank EMBL Barcelona and James Sharpe for hosting us on our group retreat to Barcelona. (We slightly envy the view onto the ocean and access to the beach.)

Only one week left to apply! Don't miss out on this great opportunity to learn from experts in the field of membrane proteins.

Our master student Lea proudly presents the fun poster of our group. An actual game to find out who killed you experiment. EMBL #LabDay

Congratulations to our CSSB housemates on this great achievement! ... and also well done on the visuals :)

Meet Florian Gabriel 🇩🇪, Predoctoral Fellow at EMBL Hamburg. He studies proteins that transport vitamins in our body, and their interaction with medical compounds. He loves languages – he already speaks four, and is currently learning five more.

Out now! Cryo-EM structure of the lysosomal Peptide/ Histidine Transporter 1 (PHT1/SLC15A4) and a model for its function as TASL receptor. Special thanks to everybody involved (Tânia Custódio EMBL Hamburg CSSB Boehringer Ingelheim). https: //doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-41420-5

New preprint from the lab! In our work, we show that MFSD1 functions as a novel lysosomal dipeptide uniporter. Big thanks to Markus Damme, Océane Guelle and Bruno Gasnier, Reza Mehdipour, @abu_remaileh, and everyone else involved in this work! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Finally, out! MFSD1 functions as a general dipeptide uniporter in lysosomes! This was a real team effort. Many thanks to @Kathaschnatta, Markus Damme, Océane Guelle and Bruno Gasnier, Reza Mehdipour, Monther Abu-Remaileh, and everyone else involved! See: doi.org/10.1038/s41556…

Our work on the thiamine transporter SLC19A3 is online now. Check this out: rdcu.be/dVOAr Cryo-EM structures of SLC19A3 in different conformations, bound to thiamine and various drug molecules. Kudos to @flosangabriel and everybody involved (EMBL Hamburg, CSSB).
