Our latest CRISPR ring nuclease paper focusses on Csx15 - which seems to act as of a sponge as well as a canonical phosphodiesterase. Great work led by @haotianchi.bsky.social

Deep-learning dive into the antimicrobial potential of Archaea
Deep-learning dive into the antimicrobial potential of Archaea
The global burden of antimicrobial resistance demands the urgent development of new antibiotics. To face this threat, Torres et al. leveraged deep-learning models to identify archaeal encrypted peptides (termed ‘archaeasins’) with potential antimicrobial activity. This work highlights Archaea as an underexplored but potentially rich source of antibiotics.

Amazing work showing how TDMD plays out on the molecular level! Congrats!!
When RNA Degradation 🤝 meets 🤝 Protein Degradation! tinyurl.com/E3TDMD In a collaboration of @bartellab.bsky.social and Schulman lab, we show that, in target-directed microRNA degradation (TDMD), 2-RNA-factors recruit an E3 ligase and induce the degradation of not only a protein but also RNA (1/5).

Slightly overdue article highlight!
In PNAS, we use smFRET to reveal how polypeptide release factor 2 (RF2) undergoes a cascade of structural changes to catalyze polypeptide release during translation termination and ArfA-mediated ribosome rescue.
