We have a new postdoc position coming soon :D. To help tease apart the cellular functions of lipid transporters involved in bacterial cell envelope homeostasis... using bacterial genetics, cell biology, and biochemistry. Reach out if you are interested and please RT!

Sharing a very short paper that I wanted to write up for many years which showed biochemical evidence that UndP sequestered with altered sugar structures are trapped at the cystosolic face of the membrane due to ineffective Wzx activity. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The ever amazing @art_egorov in our group has made a new visualisation tool for comparative genomics. Makes particularly beautiful images of phages, plasmids, other MGEs or regions of prokaryotic genomes 😍 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

All the credit goes to Hannah Stanley. More to come on this story soon.

...some prophage encoded genes (not defences) under standard LB conditions, despite the prophage being cryptic and unable to propagate... kind of suggests some of their genes have been co-opted for host biology (who knows🤷‍♀️) - We detected ~2-3 mini proteins encoded within rRNA...
