Congrats to Muna on her new pre-print! Years ago when Lauren and @MichaelFederle asked me to solve the structure the Streptococcus phage protein paratox, I had no idea of its incredible biochemistry and importance. @umanitobasci @MBMicrobiology @UMmicrogsa biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The phage protein paratox is a multifunctional metabolic regulator of Streptococcus

Streptococcus pyogenes , or Group A Streptococcus (GAS), is a commensal bacteria and human pathogen. Central to GAS pathogenesis is the presence of prophage encoded virulence genes. The conserved...

New preprint online! My favorite Streptococcus phage protein is actually an intrinsically disordered protein. The structure of paratox we know is only when its bound to ComR. @MBMicrobiology @umanitobasci @UofmMicroclub @UMmicrogsa @LauraInTheLab1 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The Streptococcus phage protein paratox is an intrinsically disordered protein

The bacteriophage protein paratox blocks quorum sensing in its streptococcal host by directly binding the signal receptor and transcription factor ComR. This reduces ability of Streptococcus to...

On this day in 1977, Fred Sanger published the first paper demonstrating "Sanger sequencing", opening the doors to read DNA and earning him a 1980 Nobel prize. Absolutely revolutionary work🫡 The first Sanger sequencing image. Figure 1, PNAS 74:5463:5467 1977
