    Abstract Single domain antibodies (nanobodies) have been extensively used in mechanistic and structural studies of proteins and they pose an enormous potential as tools for developing clinical therapies, many of which depend on the inhibition of membrane proteins such as transporters. However, most of the methods used to determine the inhibition of transport activity are difficult to perform in high-throughput routines and depend on labeled substrates availability thereby complicating the screening of large nanobody libraries. Solid-supported membrane (SSM) electrophysiology is a high-throughput method, used for characterizing electrogenic transporters and measuring their transport kinetics and inhibition. Here we show the implementation of SSM-based electrophysiology to select inhibitory and non-inhibitory nanobodies targeting an electrogenic secondary transporter and to calculate nanobodies inhibitory constants. This technique may be especially useful for selecting inhibitory nanobodies targeting transporters for which labeled substrates are not available.

    Abstract The ongoing development of single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is leading to fast data acquisition, data processing, and protein structure elucidation. Quick and reliable methods to go from protein purification and optimization to grid preparation will significantly improve the reach and power of cryo-EM. Such methods would particularly constitute a tremendous advantage in structural biology of membrane proteins, whose published structures stay still far behind the number of soluble protein structures. Here we describe a fast, low-cost, and user-friendly method for the purification and cryo-EM analysis of a recombinant membrane protein. This method minimizes the amount of starting material and manipulation steps needed to go from purification to grid preparation, and could potentially be expanded to other membrane protein purification systems for its direct application in structure determination by single-particle cryo-EM.

    Abstract Phosphocholine molecules decorating bacterial cell wall teichoic acids and outer-membrane lipopolysaccharide have fundamental roles in adhesion to host cells, immune evasion, and persistence. Bacteria carrying the operon that performs phosphocholine decoration synthesize phosphocholine after uptake of the choline precursor by LicB, a conserved transporter among divergent species.
