The bacterial #SOSresponse unfolds in a defined temporal order, but how does this arise? @adityakamat.bsky.social @anjbadri.bsky.social &co show that intrinsic #promoter strength, modulated by #SigmaFactor usage, governs timing of SOS gene activation in Caulobacter @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4oAKf0Q

Shout-out to Antoine and our amazing collaboration!

Outstanding work from @jovanakaljevic.bsky.social as together with the team they explore the depths of ParB world🤩 On my list!

doi.org/10.1038/d41586… Check out our story! From inseparable undergrads in Belgrade to PhDs scattered across the globe, FFDS (Four Friends Doing Science) kept us inspiring each other, no matter the distance. Can you guess who’s who😆? @BorisStojilkovic @milicajelicic @tismaa.bsky.social

Thrilled to share our new bioRxiv preprint!✨ Huge credit to first author Yujin Chen and thanks to all co-authors. Extra special: my first paper as co-corresponding author (with Lieve Gheysen). Check how nematodes uncouple FLS2–BSK signalling in 🌱👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our preprint is now published in PNAS! This came together thanks to a great collaboration with Antoine Hocher and a strong team effort from the Le Lab. Thank you to the reviewers and to everyone who helped improve it. I hope ParB aficionados will enjoy it. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Happy to finally show our story of the connection between nucleoid conformation, transcription & predation in our favorite predator Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus. 🧵 1/n

Thrilled to see this work out. I enjoyed our collaboration @antoinehocher and loved working on this project. Congrats to the entire team! @tunglejic.bsky.social

ParB NTPase fold might: *suggest hidden layer of biological regulation *maybe a fold as fundamental as P-loop ATPases or Rossmann folds (well, this has to be seen!) *be a treasure trove of uncharacterized proteins waiting to be studied. We probably have only scratched the surface.

This was fun!

📝New preprint! #MicroSky 🕰️We chart the full, synchronized lifecycle of a predatory bacterium using Hi-C, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq & microscopy. 🧬We uncover dramatic shifts in nucleoid architecture & transcription, tightly coordinated with predation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
