Bright students are great comfort nowadays. Our new paper reflects the high scholarship of @Nitsana88
, who initiated great collaborations to combine genetic and automated screens with interaction modeling to predict how TmaR interacts with and controls EI

Very proud of my brilliant students Priya Kannaiah and @Omer_goldb for this discovery that assigns unexpected roles to the well-studied MinD and RNase E proteins. So grateful to @TamiGeiger12 and Ora Schueler-Furman for the collaborations 🙏
What determines polar mRNA localization in E. coli?
Shanmugapriya Kannaiah, @OChoder et al @Hujimed find the polar transcriptome to depend on MinD inhibition of RnaseE recruitment

One novelty in Tamar’s study is that, similar to disease-causing proteins, TmaR may transition to an irreversible solid state, suggesting that bacteria provide a model to study processes associated with human neurodegenerative diseases
In these dark days successes in science are like rays of sunlight through dark clouds. Proud of my student @Tamarszoke and her mates @Omer_goldb and @Nitsana88, who showed that the pole-localizer TmaR phase separates at the poles, thus regulating motility sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Congrats @Omer_goldb and my other team members for the exciting study, published yesterday in @CellReports, showing that Hfq undergoes phase separation with RNA and the relevance of this process for its activity as an RNA chaperone ...עומר לך בכוחך זה

Congrats to @tamarszoke for a identifying a novel mechanism for membrane localization of proteins that is evolutionarily conserved from bacteria to yeast mitochondria. Chapeau for promoting this original project while working on your main PhD project

Congrats @Omer_goldb for a courageous project and 1st PhD paper. Provides proof-of-concept that the polygenic theory holds for bacteria. Many happy returns 😀

I'm addicted to the sunsets from our building. Sahar, now you know the real motivation to join our department. I make students in my lab to stop their experiment to watch the sunsets.
