How does a progenitor cell differentially express genes in daughter cells after asymmetric division?
@Sylvia_Char 's fancy microscopy in her paper PNASNews says the division machinery itself positions a transcription activator asymmetrically! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

#Bacteria have a #DNAdamage response to aberrant #DNAmethylation , but how do they sense this damage? Aditya Kamat Tung Le @dnarepairlab &co describe a TF that regulates a methylation-specific DNA damage response in #Caulobacter #PLOSBiology plos.io/3v7pdkD

Incredible structure of the plastid RNA-polymerase complex from my colleague Michael Webster and his team. Congratulations!!! By the way, he is looking for a new postdoc 👉okt.to/gxmsib

Long-range regulation is common in eukaryotes but rare in prokaryotes. However turns out plasmids seems to have found a novel way of repressing genes from kilobase distances! Delighted to share the work I have been doing since joining @tung_bk_le lab! 1/n

Only a few days left to register for the EMBO Conference on Archaeal and Bacterial Cell Division !!!!

Come and work with us at the John Innes Centre! We are looking for a new Structural Biology Facility Manager.

So happy to see our work published at Cell !

We added the quaternary structure dimension to proteome-wide, #AlphaFold2 predictions:

⚛️Protein structures are key to elucidating molecular details of cellular processes. #AlphaFold2 & others unveiled millions of tertiary structures, but these proteins' quaternary structures remain mostly a mystery. Here's how to bridge the gap. Thread👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
