We’re so excited to share our new paper, where we tackle the wealth of structural and functional diversity of anti-phage sensors across bacteria (1/6)

🦠🧬Immune recognition is far more universal than we thought! Our new Nature paper uncovers ≥ 90 families of bacterial immune receptors that senses conserved phage proteins—and reveals how Avs7 repurposes abundant, essential protein EF-Tu to assemble an antiviral immune complex.
