We used electron cryotomography to study the molecular arrangement of large respiratory
chain complexes in mitochondria from bovine heart, potato, and three types of fungi. Long …

We used cryoelectron tomography to reveal the arrangements of photosystem II (PSII) and
ATP synthase in vitreous sections of intact chloroplasts and plunge-frozen suspensions of …

Aging is one of the most fundamental, yet least understood biological processes that affect
all forms of eukaryotic life. Mitochondria are intimately involved in aging, but the underlying …

Type IV pili are flexible filaments on the surface of bacteria, consisting of a helical assembly
of pilin proteins. They are involved in bacterial motility (twitching), surface adhesion, biofilm …

Surface protein layers (S-layers) often form the only structural component of the archaeal
cell wall and are therefore important for cell survival. S-layers have a plethora of cellular …

Archaea use a molecular machine, called the archaellum, to swim. The archaellum consists
of an ATP-powered intracellular motor that drives the rotation of an extracellular filament …

Pili are filamentous surface extensions that play roles in bacterial and archaeal cellular
processes such as adhesion, biofilm formation, motility, cell-cell communication, DNA uptake and …

Translational control is an essential process for the cell to adapt to varying physiological or
environmental conditions. To survive adverse conditions such as low nutrient levels, …

10.7554/eLife.27470.001 The archaellum is the macromolecular machinery that Archaea use
for propulsion or surface adhesion, enabling them to proliferate and invade new territories. …

Phages are viruses that infect bacteria and dominate every ecosystem on our planet. As well
as impacting microbial ecology, physiology and evolution, phages are exploited as tools in …
