Excited to see this finally out! Great collaboration @Uni_MR & @SYNMIKRO reinforced by @Team_Thomma. Led by twitterless Paul, we provide a comprehensive structural and functional characterization of a smut virulence factor!
Structural and functional analysis of the cerato‐platanin‐like protein Cpl1 suggests diverging functions in smut fungi - Weiland - Molecular Plant Pathology - Wiley Online Library great work with @FAltegoer @SYNMIKRO @Uni_MR https://t.co/JV9TUMGal6
New paper from us and @erblabs by @schulluc : https://t.co/hN1ikcGFBf. It's about the evolution of essentiality. This question has fascinated me for a long time: How does a component that was previously unnecessary for some function become essential for it?
🧵one of my favorite tools: Foldseek (1/7)
We have traced the evo of species by comparing their proteins. We use models that assign a %similarity between seqs and confidently infer that 2 proteins are homologous if share ≥25% SeqSim. But what happens when it’s less than this?
Accelerated computing is powering a new era in protein structure prediction, now with speed-of-light multiple sequence alignments.
#MMseqs2GPU now makes #AlphaFold2 predictions faster and more efficient than ever.

Excited to share that the AlphaFold 3 model code and weights are now available for academic use.
Looking forward to seeing what new research this unlocks and how the research community builds on AlphaFold 3 for scientific discoveries https://t.co/GKIOGHm317 1/2
Highlighting the progress in structural biology of GPCR-arrestin signaling with @petrovic_iv. Nearly 600 GPCR-G protein structures vs. only 12 for GPCR-arrestin complexes. What do they reveal about GPCR signaling? Check it out: https://t.co/q88cV28oUy
Check out our newest publication on the optimized production of #psilocybin in tryptophan-catabolism repressed fungi, a metabolite with great pharmaceutical potential from the ‘magic mushroom‘ Psilocybe cubensis. Many thanks to everyone involved! https://t.co/UHHVKRMOwI
🚨Preprint alert v.2🚨🤩
I am super excited to share the preprint of another of my PhD chapters in #Zymoseptoria on BioRxiv:
"Interspecies hybridization as a route of accessory chromosome origin in fungal species infecting wild grasses"🧵👇(1/8)

Are you interested in building DNA? The Golden Gate Cloning book of the #Methods in #Molecular#Biology just went online: https://t.co/zkjC91TjE4
Find superb step by step protocols to harness the power of Golden Gate cloning. Many thanks all authors for their contributions!
We are thrilled beyond words to see our LYCHOS (GPR155) publication out today in @Nature. 🥳
“LYCHOS is a human hybrid of a plant-like PIN transporter and a GPCR”
