Bacterial Vipp1 and PspA are members of the ancient ESCRT-III membrane-remodelling superfamily biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Ever wondered how bacteria get by without having ESCRTIII. The answer is that Vipp1/PspA/IM30 are bacterial ESCRTIII homologues and share a similar structure. Nature wows us again! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Bacteria weren’t meant to have tubulin, actin or dynamin, but they do.. and now excited to show with Buzz Baum's Lab Buzz Baum that bacteria also have ESCRT-III ! 1/3 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Structure of the extracellular region of the bacterial type VIIb secretion system subunit EsaA biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_micrbio

Looks like an antenna but it is a knife. The #T7SSb assembles a cell-envelope spanning structure that kills bacterial competitors and lyses phospholipid membranes. Very nice collaboration with the Lopez lab @lppesrra and Misha Isupov researchsquare.com/article/rs-956…

Just out.. our paper with brilliant collaborators Buzz Baum's Lab Buzz Baum showing ESCRT-III-like membrane remodelling proteins in bacteria… #Vipp1 #PspA 😎 cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Congratulations to all first authors Jiwei Liu Matteo Tassinari Souvik Naskar Diorge Souza and rest of team Jeffrey Noel @OBohuszewicz Tom Williams (tweethinking.bsky.social) and Martin Buck. Well done Diorge for spotting the evolutionary link between ESCRT-III and Vipp1/PspA 👏

Congrats to Harry and the team! Thanks for being so open as we both worked towards publication. It was a real pleasure! 😁
