🚨 New @biorxivpreprint alert! 🚨
We are thrilled to share our latest findings—building on our earlier work on suppressors of helper NLRs of the NRC family—a Phytophthora infestans L-shaped effector captures resistosome assembly intermediates of tomato NRC3!

Hey #TeamTomo …would you like to try some 🍦ICECREAM!? Our @unibas.ch colleagues over at the @ivandokmanic.bsky.social lab have developed a stunningly effective tool to de-noise and de-wedge your tomograms. The contrast and details will give you brain freeze! 🍨❄️🤯

Please try, we need feedback 🧪🧶🧬🔬

What happens when the cell's powerhouse gets stressed out? 💪🥵 Great visualization in this #Mitochondria #TeamTomo study! Congrats @denkenny.bsky.social @ruferbus.bsky.social & crew 🧪 🧶🧬 🔬
✨Excited that the main project of my PhD is now available as a pre-print on #bioRxiv

Here, we used #CryoET to visualise mitochondrial proteostatic stress and together with SPA #CryoEM shed light into the functional cycle of the Hsp60:10 chaperone system. #TeamTomo

Time for a thread!🧵 How different is the molecular organization of thylakoids in “higher” plants🌱? To find out, we teamed up with @profmattjohnson.bsky.social to dive into spinach chloroplasts with #CryoET ❄️🔬. Curious? ..Read on!

I am excited to share our new preprint on the CAGE complex, a mysterious hollow protein complex that I first saw years ago while surveying Tetrahymena ciliary lysate www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #cilia #protistsonsky 🧬🧪

Was lucky to see this presented at the NYC cryoEM meeting earlier this year - super cool stuff!

NEW Review from @soreklab.bsky.social @dinahoch.bsky.social explains how immune pathways manipulate the availability of nucleotides, chemically modify nucleotides to generate immune signalling molecules, and produce altered nucleotides that poison viral replication

Excited this paper is finally published! We focused on the inner concave surface of LRR RKs to expand bacterial flagellin perception in plants. Selection indicates expanded perception is more common than previously thought. Experiments led by @jerrytli.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Unlocking expanded flagellin perception through rational receptor engineering - Nature Plants
Receptor kinase FLS2 detects the flg22 epitope of bacterial flagellin. Here the authors identify key residues on FLS2’s concave surface that enable expanded perception of flg22 variants, allowing the ...

Here’s the major plot twist… AVRcap1b does not interact with resting-state NRCs but interacts specifically with the active form! It binds NRCs through a surface distinct from the NbTOL9a interface, suggesting it bridges these pathways to “block” immune signaling.
