Last week, we welcomed our new first-year class of Biochemistry PhD students! Welcome to BBMB at Iowa State!

Our structure of dynein-dynactin on microtubules is now out in nature! Thanks to Janet Iwasa for this beautiful movie showing how cargos might use pairs of adaptors to recruit their motors. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Yesterday, undergrad scholars from the Biochemistry Undergraduate Research Program presented the fruit of their summer research experiences in the form of 3-min talks. Congratulations Braden, Charlie, Cheng, Ciaran, Grant, Lauren, Michelle, Prescott, and Zheng (Sam)!

Our Rac1-WRC paper is published in Nature Communications today rdcu.be/cVI70, showing how Rac1 GTPase activates the WAVE complex to promote actin polymerization. Thanks a million to all co-authors for solving this important mechanism!!

Check out our recent manuscript in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146… where we show how Rac1 GTPase activates WRC complex to promote actin polymerization by Arp2/3 complex.

A great collaborative effort with stonechenlab and Klemens Rottner group! Congratulations to Bojian Ding for all the structural work and #cryoem and all the other authors.

Very exciting! Wonderful collaborations!

Very happy with the collaboration! Appreciate everyone's contributions!

Excited to share the cryo-EM structure of the Retriever-SNX17 complex. We also identify additional ligands that bind to the same pocket in Retriever. Great collaboration with the Chen lab, UTSW SBL and the Turer lab. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
