Out today @ Science: TIR signaling activates caspase-like immunity in bacteria

We report a new immune signaling molecule: N7-cADPR. Produced by phage-induced TIRs and activates a defensive bacterial caspase

Congrats Francois Rousset, Ilya Osterman and coauthors!

Substrate binding proteins and nanobodies - that’s protein biochemistry heaven. In our new publication we characterized a nanobody that allosterically inhibits the SBP VcSiaP.
Amazing job by @nschneberger.bsky.social and thanks to everyone involved! As always a great team effort!

Allosteric substrate release by a sialic acid TRAP transporter substrate binding protein
Communications Biology - Biophysical and structural characterization of the TRAP transporter SBP SiaP in complex with a nanobody provides insights into an allosteric mechanism of inhibition.
