Our latest cryoEM story of the ultra-stable L-ENA protein fibers found on the spores of 𝐵𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑢𝑠 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑠. These endospore appendages are likely involved in host-pathogen interactions. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… VIB VUB BECM_VIB

Excited to share this preprint! A fun collaboration between Han Remaut and the @LalouxLab where we look at the life cycle of predatory bacteria. A very nice résumé by Yoann Santin highlights the main findings👇. Perfect reading for the spooky season🦠🧛👻!

We have an exciting opening for a postdoc position that combines nanopore sensing with computational protein design! Join us if you're interested in biological nanopore and would like to learn how to design their properties and structures. jobs.vib.be/j/64145/postdo…

Another step to uncover the molecular basis of peptidoglycan recycling in MDR bacteria. We captured crystallographic structures for all enzymatic steps. Hope you enjoy 👇

#Nanobodies to the rescue to solve the structure of the Bacillus anthracis EA1 #Slayer and unravel its function. In addition these Nbs show therapeutic potential against this anthrax disease causing🦠 👉 rdcu.be/dqbVc Adrià Sogues Antonella Fioravanti Han Remaut Jan Steyaert

We made a little conservation of amino acids tool, combining Weblogo and ColabFold, which you can run in the browser with a single sequence. Since some major conservation servers are down. Hope it's useful! rodrigueslab.com/resources Rodrigues Lab Phill Stansfeld Sergey Ovchinnikov

Excited to share our latest @LalouxLab preprint📄We used proximity labeling in #Bdellovibrio to unveil crucial insights into cell pole organization🔬 Work done by Ophélie Remy 🥳🥳 in collaboration with iR.I.P. Lab for the MS 📊 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our latest work on cell division is out. FtsEX:RipC in M. tuberculosis presents unique features compared with G(-) as a surprising inclined arrangement. A nice joint effort with Luo Min and Chris Sham Labs at NUS against this nefarious pathogen. nature.com/articles/s4146…

The final form of this wonderful paper is now available! Happy to have collaborated with Yoann Santin and @LalouxLab on this exciting project. Stay tuned for more exciting vampire stories! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Happy to see the L-ENA story make its way to the Nature Communications website. Great collaboration with NMBU Oslo. VIB VUB nature.com/articles/s4146…

what an incredible 5 days of science and new and old friends! thank you so much EMBO EMBO Fellows 💛 so happy to be part of your community!

Had an amazing time at the EMBO Fellows meeting! Finally met so many postdoc fellows and embo members and discussed their exciting research. Leaving Heidelberg with new friends and fresh ideas. Huge thanks to ⁦⁦EMBO⁩ for this fantastic meeting!

Finally out!🤩 if you were wondering how the Sap S-layer of B. anthracis looks, we have the answer! We've used an integrative structural biology approach to solve the atomic details. I wanted to make a thread highlighting the main results, but Misha Kudryashev 🔬 ❄🕊️ was quicker👇

Our second paper is also out!🥳 Dive into the interface of S-layers and nanobodies in our companion paper! In collaboration with Alex Pak (Colorado, USA), we explore how nanobodies destabilize S-layers using machine learning and molecular dynamics academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti…

We are hiring! Our lab is recruiting a bioinformatician with experience in microbiome data analysis. More details here: jobrxiv.org/job/centro-de-… Deadline for applications is April 1st. Please share!
