Mechanistic insights into RNA chaperoning by Ro60 and La autoantigens Structural and functional analyses elucidate the mechanisms by which two ATP-independent RNA chaperones, Ro60 and La, recognize and unfold misfolded RNAs. Diverse noncoding RNAs are associated with th...

Excited to share our collaborative work with the Wolin group examining RNA folding

A Twitter conversation from 2019 in search of the elusive Legionella phages.

Sorry for the late reply ‪@superbug-slayer.bsky.social ‪@roblavigne.bsky.social‬. Here's a Legionella phage & it likely shaped the emergence of Legionnaires' in the first place! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... (cryoEM w/ @smlea.bsky.social @justindeme.bsky.social). #phage #legionella #legionnaires

A central, shared role for disulfide bonds in Bacteroidota protein transport and gliding motility The gliding motility and Type 9 Secretion Systems (T9SSs) of Bacteroidota share a Power Chain that in current models uses a Hub complex to distribute energy to both the T9SS translocon and a moving gl...
