We have a new preprint on Salmonella effector SteE! Here we describe how kinase reprogramming drives transcriptional remodelling of the infected macrophage www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... - work led by @ines-ddo.bsky.social and fantastic collaboration with @peterwshill.bsky.social
Salmonella Effector SteE Reprogrammes the Macrophage Regulatory Network to Drive Specific Hyperactivation of STAT3 Target Genes
The ability of Salmonella Typhimurium to exploit macrophages as a niche for survival, replication and dissemination is central to its pathogenesis. The effector SteE, which polarises macrophages into ...

New preprint on how a minimal Salmonella kinase needs a host kinase to activate it. Work led by @timeshpillay.bsky.social and another great collaboration with @katrinrittinger.bsky.social @crick.ac.uk biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Salmonella effector kinase SteC is activated by host-mediated phosphorylation
The pathogen Salmonella , which causes significant human morbidity and mortality, encodes an effector kinase, SteC, which mediates actin polymerisation and cell migration. Given the minimal nature of ...

During my PhD at @crick.ac.uk and @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social, I explored the molecular interaction between host and pathogen. My question: How have pathogenic bacteria evolved to manipulate their host environment during infection? 🦠https://biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.03.01.640964v1 1/11
