Sharing our recent study showing that membrane vesicles produced by E. coli contain the autotransporter protein Antigen 43 and contribute to bacterial cell aggregation and biofilm formation. A fantastic collaboration with @BegonaHeras @Lauren_Zav and team. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

No added sugar: CCDC134 stabilizes ER chaperone Gp96 for TLR biogenesis. Leslie Domínguez Cadena and Antje Blumenthal @Blumenthal_Lab discuss new study from @RebsamenLab (hubs.la/Q035qb5h0) in Insights: hubs.la/Q035qd7p0 @UQMedicine @TRI_info @UQ_news #FrazerInstUQ

Check out the Insights piece from A Blumenthal & L Dominguez Cadena @Blumenthal_Lab on our discovery of CCDC134’s role in Gp96 stability and TLR biogenesis. Many thanks to the authors for discussing our work broadly, integrating recent studies by Rohatgi and Locher/Kaelin labs.
Insights: from Cadena & @Blumenthal_Lab @UQMedicine: @RebsamenLab (hubs.la/Q035qctm0) show that CCDC134 located in the ER is required for TLR biogenesis by controlling the N-glycosylation, folding, and stabilization of the ER chaperone Gp96. hubs.la/Q035pXY50

What’s a key next step on the road to our ultimate mission of zero deaths from #melanoma, according to the team running Australia’s largest melanoma-imaging cohort study? A workshop to prepare for the massive volumes of data that will help create the evidence for a national targeted melanoma-screening program. MIA, alongside #ACEMID, hosted this workshop in Sydney yesterday.
