Excited to share our recent pre-print! The Vibrio cholerae encoded Nezha anti-phage system (SIR2-HerA) restricts virulent vibriophages ICP1, ICP2, and ICP3 by depleting NAD+ (Abi💀). However, an ICP1 isolate can overcome this by encoding putative NAD+ regenerating proteins! ⚡️

Really excited to share my first preprint as a postdoc! Here, we determined that the BREX-inhibitor, OrbA, encoded by the lytic phage ICP1 inhibits BREX through the ATPase BrxC in V. cholerae.

Woohoo, our paper on the discovery of 65 new phages dependent on conjugative plasmids is published in it's final form today in @NatureComms ! Here follows a thread (1/ ) https://t.co/8e7gXpAqsv

[Yue Clare Lou, Ph.D. @ClareLou9]

🦠What are the early-life colonization & assembly dynamics of bacteriophages? Out today online in
@cellhostmicrobe, our paper took a strain-resolved approach to investigate early phage colonizers.

It's out! This paper on phage RNA-mediated activation of bacterial CBASS systems should activate your interest in reading it 🧪🦠🪐📑

Story time: when I started my postdoc with @WatersLabMSU in August last year, we aimed to use V. cholerae to understand how genetic interactions, including epistasis and pleiotropy, influences its pathogenesis and evolution. 1/18

[Rachael Workman @reworkman0]

@jwmodell lab and I are excited to celebrate #WorldPhageWeek this year with our new preprint, showing how CRISPR-Cas9 systems can respond to phage-encoded anti-CRISPRs and ultimately counterbalance Acr-phage infections! https://t.co/GiokjGwQDY

@vivek_mutalik Huge congrats!! 🎉🎈

[Kim Seed @KimDSeed]

Really enjoyed this read!

[José R Penadés @jrpenades]

Latest from the lab! Here we report the discovery of widespread famly of PICIs that just hijacks tails from their helper phages. Amazing collaboration with @epcrocha @doctor_jams @JchenLab. Fantastic work from @Alqurainyn Miguel-Romero & @AlfredFillol

@kseniakrasileva My understanding is it has to be equitable across PDs in the same lab
