Happy to share that a part of my PhD work published in Communications Biology rdcu.be/dYA61. In this work we have characterised VapBC13 and VapBC26 TA systems. Thanks to Dr Raman and team for support.
Deciphering the role of VapBC13 and VapBC26 toxin antitoxin systems in the pathophysiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Communications Biology - The ectopic expression of VapC13 and VapC26 results in transcriptional reprogramming of M. tuberculosis. Both, VapBC13 and VapBC26 TA systems are dispensable for infection...

Check out our latest preprint! We show that the same antibacterial toxin requires different immunity proteins depending whether it’s intra or extracellular
Distinct immunity protein families mediate compartment-specificneutralisation of a bacterial toxin https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.31.657152v1
