Phase separation-based visualization of protein-protein interactions and kinase activities in plants biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_plants

including our in vivo SnRK1 kinase reporter :-)

Excited to share our latest work Nature Plants where we mapped the SnRK1 signaling network integrating phosphoproteomics, AP-MS, TurboID and XL-MS rdcu.be/cZCh9 nature.com/articles/s4147… #SnRK1 #T6P #Arabidopsis

#FluorescenceFriday! Look at this cute Arabidopsis seedling by Wouter Smagghe Jelle Van Leene Geert De Jaeger's lab @dejaegerlab.bsky.social (@PSB_VIB). The yellow dots illustrate the activity of an enzyme that helps control plant growth and development, which may lead to more climate-resilient crops. #VIBforCOP27

"Just in! We're hiring a Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team and dissect TOR and SNRK1 signaling under limiting nitrogen supply. If you're passionate about plant biology and want to contribute to cutting-edge research, apply now: jobs.vib.be/j/56832

Including our SnRK1-SPARK sensor showing dynamics in #SnRK1 activity in real time!

Thrilled with our SPARKling story in The Plant Cell! 🎉

Our #phase #separation-based sensor is out The Plant Cell. We provide a straightforward (SYMPL) cloning toolbox to visualize #PPI and real-time #kinase #activity in planta at a high signal/noise ratio. Kudos to all people involved! @PSB_VIB @Ugent Tom Beeckman Geert De Jaeger's lab @dejaegerlab.bsky.social

How plants grow, adapt and interact intrigues Wouter to improve crop resilience for a climate robust future. #WeAreASPB buff.ly/3K4TSDC

Interested in single-cell multi-omics? Today 14.30h I am delivering lecture on #singlecell #mutation and #protein analysis in #leukemia at Mission Bio VIB seminar at UZ Leuven KU Leuven hosted by Jan Cools ! Other speakers are @scherermich, Toon Swings, Wouter Smagghe

Check out our latest work in Molecular & Cellular Proteomics where we mapped a #nitrogen specific protein interaction network around the #SnRK1 and #TOR kinases in #Arabidopsis, highlighting a key role for the #ER as a hub for integration of #nutrient levels doi.org/10.1016/j.mcpr…

Amazing work🤯 by Persyn et al. (2024) on the #nitrogen-specific #interactome of #SnRK1 and #PlantTOR in #Arabidopsis by AP-MS and PL-MS, showing that some novel N-specific SnRK1 interactors (e.g. IRE1A and RAB18) are involved in #autophagy induction at the #EndoplasmicReticulum.

🌱 The team of Geert De Jaeger's lab @dejaegerlab.bsky.social at @PSB_VIB UGent sheds a light on the role of SnRK1 and TOR in plant nitrogen signaling, presenting them as attractive targets for precision breeding. 👉 Check it out vibbio.tech/4eo9Rd5
