📣 New preprint alert!

Happy to share the first results from our effort to reannotate Pseudomonas #phage proteins of unknown function, using structural bioinformatics.

Fold first, ask later: structure-informed function annotation of Pseudomonas phage proteins
Phages, the viruses of bacteria, harbor an incredibly diverse repertoire of proteins capable of manipulating their bacterial hosts, inspiring many medical and biotechnological applications. However, t...

Protein domains have no single definition, so why stick to one segmentation? 🧩

Instead of forcing structures into rigid classifications, we built AFragmenter. It uses AlphaFold PAE networks for a tuneable approach to domain parsing.

You control the granularity. 👇

🚨 New preprint 🚨

My phage annotation tool, Phynteny, finally has a preprint and a brand new version powered by a cool AI transformer architecture and protein language models! #phagesky

Synteny-aware functional annotation of bacteriophage genomes with Phynteny
Accurate genome annotation is fundamental to decoding viral diversity and understanding bacteriophage biology; yet, the majority of bacteriophage genes remain functionally uncharacterised. Bacteriopha...

We've folded a lot of proteins! You can see some of them here @linsalrob.bsky.social @gbouras13.bsky.social
We made structural predictions of representatives of each #PHROG from #phage genomes, and put the whole lot online. You can browse through montages or go to your favourite phrog directly and download its PDB.

Hip hip hooray: our #PTM conservation tool FLAMS turns 1 🎂

To celebrate, we have added handy new features to FLAMS web, incl. 3D visualization of hit proteins & PTM sites with known active/binding sites.

Come check it out @ tinyurl.com/flamsweb & let us know what you think!

1/11 - With Karin Mitosch and Clément Potel + colleagues in Savitski lab and @typaslab.bsky.social @embl.org, I’m very happy to share our discovery of a hyper-promiscuous phage protein kinase (T7K) which broadly deactivates bacterial defenses! 🦠
