So proud to see this story finally out!🎉 We added new data since our previous preprint—transgenic barley plants with an engineered immune receptor that fights off two fungal pathogens at once. Short 🧵 and link to the original preprint thread on X👇 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Molecular mimicry of a pathogen virulence target by a plant immune receptor

Plants and animals respond to pathogen attack by mounting innate immune responses that require intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins. These immune receptors detect pathog...

Preprint Alert 🚨 @philcarella.bsky.social lab stepping into TIR-ritory!! Project started by me but finished by talented PhD student @ebkennedy.bsky.social (Please follow her), with contribution from Zhao He and @jonathandgjones.bsky.social We investigated EDS1-dependency of TIR domain. See thread👇

New Preprint in collaboration with GoogleDeepMind: AI-guided discovery of atypical protein assemblies The @kamounlab.bsky.social discovered an 11-protomer complex thanks to the Structural Novelty Index , a new way to use AlphaFold to find protein assemblies that break the pattern.

AI-guided discovery of atypical protein assemblies

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems such as AlphaFold have transformed structural biology by enabling accurate prediction of protein structures. However, their capacity to uncover new classes of…

Some predictions are high-confidence. These go to eleven! Huge congrats to the whole team ❤️ Such a privilege to work with you all.

Protein structure prediction changed biology. Protein assembly discovery is next. We present SNI (Structural Novelty Index), a scalable framework for finding new protein complexes. We used it to uncover an unexpected resistosome assembly: 11-mer. 🧵👇🏻 biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

UP TO ELEVEN - We expressed potato NRC7, imaged it by negative-stain EM, ran 2D classification. 🔬💥 Rings ~250 Å across — way bigger than canonical hexamers (~150 Å). 11 protomers. (5/n)

Germany's ZB MED signs publishing partnership agreement with MDPI. At a time when MDPI is considered predatory to most, this is a baffling move. 🤑🤢 Doesn't reflect good on #BioMedicalResearch in Germany. www.mdpi.com/about/announ... #SciPub #ScientificPublishing #PredatoryPublishers #OpenAccess

HI old friends! Finally took the leap here to say I have several open positions going in my lab at the moment (and more to come). 1) PhD studentship in collaboration with the Royal Horticultural Society (genomics) 2) Biochemistry Postdoc to understand how Starships move Check out the links below!
