New from our lab @crick.ac.uk, in collaboration with the Enchev and Bukau labs.
By studying a protein that is difficult to fold, we discover fascinating new mechanisms by which the ribosome supports protein biogenesis.

New preprint on how a minimal Salmonella kinase needs a host kinase to activate it. Work led by @timeshpillay.bsky.social and another great collaboration with @katrinrittinger.bsky.social @crick.ac.uk biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Salmonella effector kinase SteC is activated by host-mediated phosphorylation
The pathogen Salmonella , which causes significant human morbidity and mortality, encodes an effector kinase, SteC, which mediates actin polymerisation and cell migration. Given the minimal nature of ...
