Tick-borne flavivirus exoribonuclease-resistant RNAs contain a double loop structure - Nature Communications
Many flaviviruses generate specialized non-coding RNAs that resist degradation by host exonucleases, promoting viral infection. Here, the authors characterize an RNA element in Powassan virus, highlig...

Check out our latest preprint describing two structures of ribosomes complexed with the two enantiomers of a β2-hydroxy acid. Our structures show that despite stereochemical differences, both are ultimately well positioned for bond formation within the ribosome!

Escherichia coli ribosomes support translation of (R) and (S) β2-hydroxyacids in vitro: a structural and biochemical study
The ribosomal incorporation of backbone-modified amino acid analogs into peptides and proteins enables the programmed synthesis of sequence-defined biopolymers with tunable properties. However, the su...

Preprint alert! ✨ In this project that I co-led with @benadler.bsky.social, we show that a miniature CRISPR-Cas10-like enzyme, mCpol, uses a novel inverse signaling mechanism to prevent the spread of viruses that attempt immune evasion by depleting host cyclic nucleotides.

Check it out:
A miniature CRISPR-Cas10 enzyme confers immunity by an inverse signaling pathway
Microbial and viral co-evolution has created immunity mechanisms involving oligonucleotide signaling that share mechanistic features with human anti-viral systems. In these pathways, including CBASS a...
