I can't believe what I've just watched. A Jewish lawyer wearing a Star of David was arrested after the police alleged the symbol had "antagonised" pro-Palestine protesters. He was handcuffed and detained by police for almost TEN hours. DISGUSTING! Shame on you @metpoliceuk.


Over two years in the making, but here it is: ComFB, the third family of c-di-GMP receptor proteins with representatives in multiple bacterial phyla (PMID: 40966295) doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Very happy to share that a large part of my thesis work is out today: B. subtilis uses the second messenger c-di-AMP to modulate its turgor pressure in response to the state of its cell envelope.  nature.com/articles/s4156…


In the architecture of the outer membrane complex PelBC for Pel export, the essential periplasmic ring of twelve PelC lipoproteins is mounted on top of the PelB β-barrel nature.com/articles/s4146…


In Bacillus subtilis, c-di-AMP levels are modulated by the cyclase regulator CdaR in response to cell wall defects. Great work by @apbrogan.bsky.social et al. nature.com/articles/s4156…

We cracked the mystery: Pteridines are the natural ligands of CutA, a widespread protein in nature @HHU_de @CoE_CMFI I started this project 8y ago. We showed that it's of PII signaling family, but it's role remained unknown coz we didn't know what it bind biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations to my former postdoc supervisor, Prof. George Salmond. A well-deserved recognition! @MicrobioSoc microbiologysociety.org/news/society-n…

I know one thing. Zelenskyy would’ve received a hero’s welcome from these guys, and sent home with enough ammo to go all the way to Moscow.
