What determines polar mRNA localization in E. coli? Shanmugapriya Kannaiah, Orna Amster-Choder et al Faculty of Medicine - The Hebrew University find the polar transcriptome to depend on MinD inhibition of RnaseE recruitment embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…


🙏 to Annual Reviews for the opportunity to write this review w/ Cary Boyd-Shiwarski, MD/PhD on molecular #crowding for the physiologist. We cover emerging connections between crowding sensing & diverse functions, highlighting #IDRs and #condensates as key mediators. annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.11…

Thrilled to finally announce our work on the selectivity of disordered protein condensation in Nature Chemistry. Great collaboration with Jeetain Mittal Led by Rachel Welles and Kandarp Sojitra. rdcu.be/dxP4r. See related work by Brangwynne lab rdcu.be/dzddw




Thrilled to share our latest preprint about asymmetric division in E. coli! Work led by the amazing Yashna Thappeta & Silvia Cañas-Duarte. Fun collaboration with the Cegelski lab. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our c-di-GMP sensor story is finally out in Nature Communications: rdcu.be/dHsEh. Including new data demonstrating cdGreen2 as a convenient tool to study DGC and PDE activity in vitro. Great collaboration with Simon van Vliet and Maier Lab!

So excited to announce our new method for multiplexed RNA imaging in bacterial cells: bacterial-MERFISH! A huge congratulations to the team of Ari Sarfatis, Yuanyou Wang, and Nana Twumasi-Ankrah! Check out the following thread or our bioRxiv (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) 1/12

Check out our latest paper in Nature Chemical Biology, where we developed our CAGE split intein platform to study signaling events using proteomic profiling. This enables insights into the differential molecular connections of fusion oncogenes. Congrats to Gihoon Lee! nature.com/articles/s4158…

🔬🦠 Read our latest review tinyurl.com/2y9ebsgl in PLOS Pathogens on bacterial condensates, their role in stress sensing and response, and potential for influencing host-pathogen interactions. Fun project with the Childers Lab. Congrats to Moeka Sasazawa and Dylan Tomares
