Small LEA proteins as an effective air-water interface protectant for fragile samples during cryo-EM grid plunge freezing

|
By Ci Ji Lim, Kaitlyn M Abe
| BioRxiv
Abstract Sample loss due to air-water interface (AWI) interactions is a significant challenge during cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) sample grid plunge freezing. We report that small Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins, which naturally bind to AWI, can protect samples from AWI damage during plunge freezing.

Structures of the human CST-Polα–primase complex bound to telomere templates - Nature

|
By Qixiang He, Sourav Agrawal, Ci Ji Lim
| Nature Verified
Abstract The mammalian DNA polymerase-alpha/primase (pol-α/primase) is essential for DNA metabolism, providing the de novo RNA-DNA primer for several DNA replication pathways1-4 such as lagging-strand synthesis and telomere C-strand fill-in. The underlying physical mechanism of how pol-α/primase, alone or in partnership with accessory proteins, performs its complicated multistep primer synthesis function is unknown.
