@dodonova-sveta.bsky.socialReposted by @archaellum.bsky.socialNew preprint from Dodonova lab 🔔! Capturing multiple states by cryo-EM❄️, we show for the first time how archaeal RNA Polymerase engages a nucleosome and forms direct contacts with histones! 🧬
Great work by Gabriele & a fantastic collaboration with Dina Grohmann! 🧵

@sgribaldo.bsky.socialReposted by @archaellum.bsky.socialWe are particularly proud of this work given the upcoming 50th anniversary of the discovery of Archaea in 1977 (same year Punk broke 😉) They continue to hold big surprises impacting all aspects of microbiology and evolution. Hope it'll encourage more young scientists to join this exciting field! 9/9

@archaellum.bsky.socialCongrats!
@archaellum.bsky.socialVery cool story, happy we could help a little along the way!

New paper out @nature.com !
We discovered an enzyme that specifically cleaves the cell wall of methanogens, revealing a new chemical structure of archaeal peptidoglycan, 50 yrs after its first description
