Incredible mechanistic exploration!
I am so excited to share our project with you! We find prokaryotic proteases activate toxic enzymes and pores as a modular strategy in phage defense. We studied four fascinating protease-toxin pairs that are abundant across bacterial genomes:

Proteolytic activation of diverse antiviral defense modules in prokaryotes
Linked protease–effector modules are widespread in prokaryotic antiviral defense, yet the mechanisms of most remain poorly understood. Here we show that four of the most prevalent modules—metallo-β-la...

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

NIH shmNIH. I’m starting Skull Island Research Institute of Science. Let me tell you, folks, SIRIOS is absolutely tremendous—one of the best science institutes, believe me! They’re doing amazing, groundbreaking work, just incredible stuff. Everyone’s talking about it, folks, it’s THAT good!
