Hiromasa Takemura is a professor of the National Institute for Physiological Sciences, Okazaki, Japan, who is working on neuroscience and vision science.
A new paper is published in Current Biology. https://lnkd.in/gwRKg-c5 By collaborating with International teams, we evaluated how much the vertical occipital fasciculus (VOF), is a white matter pathway connecting the dorsal and ventral visual cortex, is preserved across mammalian species. Please also find a commentary from Dr. Jason Yeatman of Stanford University about our paper: https://lnkd.in/gx2We7XT

Check out our preprint with a new story that came together nicely this fall - a sequel to my previous work with the bifunctional terpene synthase PaFS that suggested side-on interactions of cyclase domains with the prenyltransferase core are key in enabling substrate channeling. In this work, we show that EvVS makes top and bottom interactions (rather than side-on) with a great new structure, and does not exhibit substrate channeling. Coming soon to a journal near you!

Congrats to postdoc Eli Wenger for determining the first complete structure of a massive bifunctional terpene synthase, variediene synthase. This 495-kD oligomer exhibits novel substrate channeling behavior, but only with a non-native cyclase! This cryo-EM structure provides remarkable lessons that will inform synthetic biology approaches for the efficient production of high-value terpenes. The preprint just went live at https://lnkd.in/eQZH2c4A

The group of Christian Löw at EMBL Hamburg and Centre for Structural Systems Biology CSSB, with collaborators from the Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel, Centre national de la recherche scientifique and Université Paris Cité worked together to reveal the structure and function of a previously unknown lysosome transporter, MFSD1. Lysosomes are organelles that function as a waste disposal and recycling system within the cell. They break down larger macromolecules such as proteins and lipids into smaller, lighter compounds, which are then transported into the cell’s cytoplasm. The findings indicate that the transporter provides an alternative route to supply amino acids for biosynthetic pathways when other lysosomal amino acid exporters are overloaded. https://lnkd.in/d-ZEsFSH Katharina Jungnickel Markus Damme, Bruno Gasnier

‼️💡"One of the biggest problems in the experimental mainstream biomedical science type of biology: Addiction to COMPLICATED (methods are now available to generate large datasets) and devaluation of SIMPLE often confusing it with SIMPLISTIC". - Ruslan Medzhitov Check his e-talk on 'Simplifying Biology' here: https://lnkd.in/dp7HcQ_2

Our latest paper showcases how liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) can revolutionize pheromone analysis in honey bee research!. Since the initial description of queen mandibular pheromone (QMP) in 1988, studies have relied heavily on GC-MS. Our research demonstrates that QRP components are compatible with LC-MS/MS, allowing for the simultaneous detection of pheromones and a wide range of other biologically relevant compounds, such as prostaglandins and thromboxanes. The spectral data are openly accessible at the #metabolomicsworkbench (ST003101, doi: 10.21228/M81B11), allowing for further analysis or improvements in annotation as new pathways are discovered and new standards and annotation technologies become available. This comprehensive dataset will serve as a valuable resource for ongoing exploration. https://lnkd.in/grChtWeD
