Wow!
NLR-like immunity in bacteria
A new study from the Alex Gao lab. The scope of this work is incredible!!!

Diverse bacterial pattern recognition receptors sense the conserved phage proteome
Recognition of foreign molecules inside cells is critical for immunity in all domains of life. Proteins of the STAND NTPase superfamily, including eukaryotic nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain ...

Wow!
Phages are full of genes of unknown function that are likely adaptive in specific conditions.
New preprint: Phage TnSeq identifies essential genes rapidly and knocks all non-essentials. We would like to send a pool of phiKZ mutants to anyone wanting it! Reach out

Interested in phage defenses that natively block lytic phage used in therapies?
Or do you want to figure out if a phage has a modified genome?
Meet the END-nucleases, an enzyme family that can broadly restrict phages with many diverse modifications. From talented post-doc Wearn-Xin Yee!

Thank you for moving it over here! Not yet up and running on bsky but learning :)

The phiKZ jumbo phages build a protein based nucleus to protect their DNA(!), but what do they do before the nucleus is built? ... we identify host and phage proteins in an immediate early phage lipid vesicle.
