New preprint is out now! We revealed fine-tuning system of complex conformation the bacterial beta-barrel membrane protein assembly machinery. @maru_to_y performed over 100 positions of cross-linking experiments to monitor intra-complex protein-protein proximity in vivo.

Here's our model of how NINJ1 oligomerization is a two step process where a first signal leads to NINJ1 oligomerization and cell swelling functionalizes the oligomers into lesions. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
