@edreesrashan.bsky.socialNew preprint from the lab, co-led by Youmian Yan and @lianjiejerrywei.bsky.social! 🧵 at some point in the near future, but until then, check out our work uncovering mechanisms allowing the dual targeting of mitochondrial proteins using our favorite, PPTC7, as a case study.
Show PostWait, what?! This isn’t about ribosomes? Check out our new work where we find that a #Legionella effector thought to target host translation instead targets metabolism by modifying a host glycolytic metabolite. Led by @drjoshblack.bsky.social www.cell.com/molecular-ce...
Show PostI'm excited to share my postdoc work where we characterized the #Legionella effector SidL, finding that it modifies a host #glycolysis metabolite to produce a novel molecule that is incompatible with host #metabolism and uncovers a new mode in which pathogens can manipulate their host environment.
Show PostIt’s been a while since I left the lab this late because I was doing an experiment. I forgot how nice it can be to focus on only one thing for a while #inthezone
Show PostThank you so much for highlighting our work- Truly spot on and a great title!
