Zabeo D, Davies K
Curr Opin Struct Biol . 2022 Sep; 77:102464. PMID: 36174286
Membrane modulation is a key part of cellular life. Critical to processes like energy production, cell division, trafficking, migration and even pathogen entry, defects in membrane modulation are often associated...

Volland J, Gonzalez-Rizzo S, Gros O, Tyml T, Ivanova N, Schulz F, et al.
Science . 2022 Jun; 376(6600):1453-1458. PMID: 35737788
Cells of most bacterial species are around 2 micrometers in length, with some of the largest specimens reaching 750 micrometers. Using fluorescence, x-ray, and electron microscopy in conjunction with genome...

Zhao Y, Wang H, Wiesehoefer C, Shah N, Reetz E, Hwang J, et al.
Nat Commun . 2022 Jun; 13(1):3439. PMID: 35715406
The sperm calcium channel CatSper plays a central role in successful fertilization as a primary Ca gateway. Here, we applied cryo-electron tomography to visualize the higher-order organization of the native...

Zik J, Hwan Yoon S, Guan Z, Stankeviciute Skidmore G, Gudoor R, Davies K, et al.
Cell Rep . 2022 Jun; 39(9):110888. PMID: 35649364
Lipid A, the membrane-anchored portion of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), is an essential component of the outer membrane (OM) of nearly all Gram-negative bacteria. Here we identify regulatory and structural factors that...

Serwas D, Akamatsu M, Moayed A, Vegesna K, Vasan R, Hill J, et al.
Dev Cell . 2022 May; 57(9):1132-1145.e5. PMID: 35504288
Actin assembly provides force for a multitude of cellular processes. Compared to actin-assembly-based force production during cell migration, relatively little is understood about how actin assembly generates pulling forces for...

Serwas D, Davies K
Methods Mol Biol . 2020 Dec; 2215:3-23. PMID: 33367997
Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) is an extremely powerful tool which is used to image cellular features in their close-to-native environment at a resolution where both protein structure and membrane morphology can...

Keogh S, Shelverton C, Flynn J, Mihala G, Mathew S, Davies K, et al.
BMC Med . 2020 Sep; 18(1):252. PMID: 32993628
Background: Peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) are ubiquitous medical devices, crucial to providing essential fluids and drugs. However, post-insertion PIVC failure occurs frequently, likely due to inconsistent maintenance practice such as...

Laughlin T, Savage D, Davies K
Biochim Biophys Acta Bioenerg . 2020 Jul; 1861(11):148254. PMID: 32645407
Photosynthetic NADH dehydrogenase-like complex type-1 (a.k.a, NDH, NDH-1, or NDH-1L) is a multi-subunit, membrane-bound oxidoreductase related to the respiratory complex I. Although originally discovered 30 years ago, a number of...

Plant Physiol . 2019 Sep; 181(3):1050-1058. PMID: 31501298
Carboxysomes are capsid-like, CO-fixing organelles that are present in all cyanobacteria and some chemoautotrophs and that substantially contribute to global primary production. They are composed of a selectively permeable protein...

Blum T, Hahn A, Meier T, Davies K, Kuhlbrandt W
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2019 Feb; 116(10):4250-4255. PMID: 30760595
Mitochondrial ATP synthases form dimers, which assemble into long ribbons at the rims of the inner membrane cristae. We reconstituted detergent-purified mitochondrial ATP synthase dimers from the green algae sp....
