NSRRC users, Prof. Robert C. Robinson and Dr. Caner Akil, investigated genomes of Asgard archaea, using TPS 05A – Protein Microcrystallography beamline. A native Loki profilin-1 dataset from a single P21 frozen crystal (100 K) was collected to 1.6 Å resolution on a RAYONIX MX-300 HS CCD detector on beamline TPS 05A controlled by BLU-ICE (version 5.1) at λ = 1.0 Å. Their team shows that Asgard archaea encode functional profilins and thereby establish that this archaeal superphylum has a regulated actin cytoskeleton, one of the hallmarks of the eukaryotic cell. Their study was published in <em>Nature</em> on October 3, 2018.
