Summary: Cryo-electron tomography is a revolutionary technique for resolving the structure of subcellular organelles and macromolecular complexes in their cellular context. However, the sample preparation step hampers its application. In this study, cryo-CLIEM technique was developed, which integrates three-dimensional confocal imaging with focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy for efficient preparation of lamellae containing target structures. This approach has been shown to be generally applicable and will contribute to more applications of cryo-electron tomography.

Drug discovery in the era of cryo-electron microscopy

Michael J. Robertson et al.

Summary: Structure-based drug discovery (SBDD) is an important approach for designing and optimizing new therapeutic agents. Cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) has become an exceptional tool for SBDD, providing a wealth of new structural information. In comparison to crystallization-based methods, cryoEM allows for the study of a wider range of systems and provides different forms of information, including heterogeneity and dynamics. Current and future developments in cryoEM aim to achieve the resolution and throughput necessary for it to have a widespread impact on the SBDD pipeline.

A cryogenic, coincident fluorescence, electron, and ion beam microscope

Daan B. Boltje et al.

Summary: Cryo-ET combined with subtomogram averaging is a powerful technique for visualizing and determining the structure of macromolecular complexes. However, standard cryo-FIB fabrication used for sample preparation is blind to the precise location of structures or proteins of interest. In this study, a fluorescence microscopy-guided FIB fabrication method was developed to address this issue. By retrofitting a cryogenic microcooler and a fluorescence microscope onto an existing FIB scanning electron microscope, precise targeting at every milling step in the lamella fabrication process was achieved, resulting in improved success rate and throughput for high-resolution imaging.

Tubulin glycylation controls axonemal dynein activity, flagellar beat, and male fertility

Sudarshan Gadadhar et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the importance of tubulin glycylation for controlled flagellar beating, directional sperm swimming, and male fertility by utilizing a mouse model lacking this modification. The lack of glycylation led to abnormal dynein arm conformations in sperm axonemes, resulting in subfertility in male mice due to aberrant beat patterns of sperm flagella.

Molecular and cellular dynamics of the 26S proteasome

Eri Sakata et al.

Summary: The ubiquitin-proteasome system in eukaryotic cells removes dysfunctional or unneeded proteins, with the 26S proteasome being a multisubunit complex consisting of a 20S core particle and one or two regulatory particles. Advances in single-particle cryo-electron microscopy have provided atomic resolution models of the proteasome, contributing to a better understanding of its dynamics. Cryo-electron tomography allows for structural studies in situ, offering molecular resolution images of macromolecules within preserved cellular environments.
