Our recent work on Actinobacterial G protein system is live on bioRxiv! These regulatory systems are conserved in Actinomycetota and are involved in secondary metabolism, phage defense, and cellular development. Check out the preprint here 👇:
The accessory protein CvnF8 modulates histidine kinase activity in an Actinobacterial G protein system in Streptomyces coelicolor https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.07.03.663114v1

As part of the #McClintockLetters Initiative, members of the Taga Lab wrote op-ed's and letters to their local hometown papers to defend federal science funding. Check them out in this thread and join the fight to defend federal science funding (1/4)!

What a great time with Pete Greenberg, @tagalab.bsky.social, @cwhitch.bsky.social, @laahrs.bsky.social, and Jeff Boyd in Dresden
+ learning about the history of quorum sensing research, the 2Ms, Matt and Marvin, BB medium, and many more stories

Check out our new paper led by lab member Kenny Mok! We highlight that understanding individual cobamide preferences of bacteria is necessary to understand the critical function of these vitamins in microbial communities. 1/4 journals.asm.org/doi/full/10....
