Great work by Adélie Lannoy on Brucella abortus, just published in The EMBO Journal www.embopress.org/doi/full/10..... Thanks to fantastic collaborators! An enigmatic, perhaps ancestral, protein complex predicted as a tunnel-like structure between membranes. Crucial for survival in macrophages

Hi everyone!
I am thrilled to finally share with you the result of my Ph.D. thesis.
In this study, we used genetics and metal quantifications to study the link between iron and copper homeostasis in Caulobacter crescentus.

Role of a TonB-dependent receptor and an oxygenase in iron-dependent copper resistance in Caulobacter crescentus | Journal of Bacteriology
Copper is an essential metal for many living organisms, as it helps to drive crucial
chemical reactions. However, when present in excess, copper turns toxic due to its
high reactivity with biological ...

Another week, another destination, another conference ! This week I had the chance (again) to present my work through a short talk at the #T4SSconference in Nancy 👩🏽🔬🇫🇷. I’m grateful to have had great discussions with such amazing people, specially from our Brucella community! @namurxa.bsky.social

Programmed cell death distinguishes N. gonorrhoeae & N. meningitidis from other #Neisseria species. @katyponcin.bsky.social &co identify a horizontally acquired genetic island encoding peptides that drive #autolysis & human cell lysis, aiding colonization & disease 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/4aP2om9

We are thrilled to welcome four new researchers to the lab! Thanks to them, we will deepen our knowledge of the molecular biology of the Brucella abortus pathogen. Welcome to the excellent atmosphere of the unit (URBM)! 😀🍫🍻🃏🎳
