We added experiments during revision showing that actin inhibition stops dynamics in both tested Asgard archaeal strains, further supporting the idea of a shared mechanism dependent on Lokiactin. We’re excited to see what other surprises these archaea have in store for us! @radler92.bsky.social

Our paper on the dynamics of Asgard archaea (Promethearchaeota) is now out in Nature! Huge thanks to the reviewers for helping make the manuscript stronger. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Two “Lokis” stained for Lokiactin (FastAct, magenta), reaching toward each other to celebrate 🎉 #archaea

The first paper of my PostDoc in Christa Schlepers group (@archaea-vienna.bsky.social) on the dynamics of Asgard archaea is now out in Nature! www.nature.com/articles/s41... This was a great team effort and I am looking forward to uncover the complex behavior of these cells further!
