    New tools for automated high-resolution cryo-EM structure determination in RELION-3

    Jasenko Zivanov, Takanori Nakane ... Sjors HW Scheres
    RELION-3 calculates single-particle reconstructions to higher resolution and with less user-interactions than previously available versions.

    In situ single particle classification reveals distinct 60S maturation intermediates in cells

    Bronwyn A Lucas, Kexin Zhang ... Nikolaus Grigorieff
    Comparing the relative similarity of cellular molecules to alternate templates allows classification of related complexes in the cell using fewer particles than needed for 3D classification and is more practicable for low abundance complexes.

    Live-cell single particle imaging reveals the role of RNA polymerase II in histone H2A.Z eviction

    Anand Ranjan, Vu Q Nguyen ... Carl Wu
    Histone variant H2A.Z is deposited near transcription start sites by the chromatin remodeler SWR1 and seems to be removed by RNA polymerase II at an early stage of transcription elongation.

    Biophysical properties of single rotavirus particles account for the functions of protein shells in a multilayered virus

    Manuel Jiménez-Zaragoza, Marina PL Yubero ... Javier M Rodríguez
    In triple-layered rotavirus particles, strong interaction between the external and middle layers provides high mechanical strength for protection tasks, while weaker interaction between the middle and inner layers favors transcription.

    Beam-induced motion correction for sub-megadalton cryo-EM particles

    Sjors HW Scheres
    Building on previous work (Bai et al., 2013), we describe an algorithm that allows cryo-EM structure determination to near-atomic resolution for protein complexes as small as 170 kDa.

    Protein denaturation at the air-water interface and how to prevent it

    Edoardo D'Imprima, Davide Floris ... Werner Kühlbrandt
    Hydrophilized graphene prevents protein denaturation at the air-water interface.

    Using the Volta phase plate with defocus for cryo-EM single particle analysis

    Radostin Danev, Dimitry Tegunov, Wolfgang Baumeister
    Building on previous work in cryo-electron microscopy (Entchev et al, 2015), it shown that a combination of the Volta phase plate and a small amount of defocus can simplify the experimental set-up, increase the data acquisition rate and improve resolution.

    TRiC’s tricks inhibit huntingtin aggregation

    Sarah H Shahmoradian, Jesus G Galaz-Montoya ... Wah Chiu
    Cryo-electron tomography reveals how a chaperone protein called TRiC reduces the ability of pathogenic mutant huntingtin proteins to form aggregates.

    A multicellular way of life for a multipartite virus

    Anne Sicard, Elodie Pirolles ... Stéphane Blanc
    A multipartite virus functionally spreads its distinct genome segments in distinct individual cells of the host plant, and complementation of the viral genes across cells allows a pluricellular infection cycle.

    Dynamic 1D search and processive nucleosome translocations by RSC and ISW2 chromatin remodelers

    Jee Min Kim, Claudia C Carcamo ... Carl Wu
    Single-particle imaging of RSC and ISW2 chromatin remodelers on DNA stretched between dual optical tweezers reveals distinctive 1D diffusion and opposing push–pull nucleosome translocation on engagement with sparse nucleosome arrays.
