Also huge shoutout to our collaborators @masarunobu.bsky.social and @hiro-imachi.bsky.social for sharing their strain and lively discussions. And also to our collaborators on the eukaryotic side, @klemens-actin.bsky.social and Michael Sixt at @istaresearch.bsky.social for their input and support!

So happy for this work!

Huge thanks for the teamwork and the amazing collaborative effort to everyone participating in this!

The first paper of my PostDoc in Christa Schlepers group (@archaea-vienna.bsky.social) on the dynamics of Asgard archaea is now out in Nature!

This was a great team effort and I am looking forward to uncover the complex behavior of these cells further!

We added experiments during revision showing that actin inhibition stops dynamics in both tested Asgard archaeal strains, further supporting the idea of a shared mechanism dependent on Lokiactin.

We’re excited to see what other surprises these archaea have in store for us! @radler92.bsky.social

Our paper on the dynamics of Asgard archaea (Promethearchaeota) is now out in Nature!
Huge thanks to the reviewers for helping make the manuscript stronger.

New 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! 🧵

Congrats to Dimitri and all co-authors on their new publication!

Common Nitrification Inhibitors Exhibit Distinct Mechanisms on the Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaeon Nitrososphaera viennensis

A great and in-depth look at SNIs and AOA!
