In 2017 we showed that homomers evolve on the edge of supramolecular self-assembly. Here we show how to exploit this vulnerability so that ALL homomers can become bona fide drug-🎯. Delighted that Aim 3 of our @erc.europa.eu finally polymerized! Manuscript: 👉 rdcu.be/e27bT

Organelles do NOT have a single uniform pH. And if you think they must, because “protons diffuse fast,” this paper is for you. A thread on why that assumption is wrong; and what we found instead. 🧵 1/n

10/2025 Issue ➡️ www.embopress.org/toc/17444292... reduced genomes, adaptive mutations under stress, xenobiotics and gut microbiome, DMS analysis, TF effector metabolites Cover: proteins can agglomerate with limited impact on cell by @elevylab.bsky.social

@molsystbiol.org picked a neat cover for this month's issue 🙃 - Great work from Tal Levin, Hector Garcia-Seisdedos, many more colleagues (doi.org/10.1038/s443...) and great matching cover, too!

Nice to see Tal's work featured in biotech news ! www.genengnews.com/topics/biopr...

Assay IDs Agglomerates for Intracellular Engineering

Protein agglomerates are reversible, so can serve as a regulatory mechanism for intracellular engineering.

Years ago we discovered that missense mutations in homomeric proteins often induces their supramolecular assembly, as in the 📽️👇 - Are such aberrant assemblies of *folded* proteins toxic? Surprisingly, NO. Cells are amazingly robust systems! Paper now online @molsystbiol.org doi.org/10.1038/s443...
