Fascinated by ubiquitination. Located at the University of Hamburg. Tweets are my own.

Excited to share our newly published "A Multidimensional View of Biomolecular Condensates in Plant Biology" in the Annual Review of Plant Biology!
We discuss emerging mechanisms, biological functions, and future directions. 🌱🔬 - https://t.co/qTpzGvG3Mv

Check out our latest work! AlphaFold 3 revealed a transient immune receptor complex that eluded biochemical studies for almost a decade🤯 We describe a conserved structural logic underlying sensor–helper communication in an NLR immune receptor network 🧵👇

Just published: The Hidden Handshake: How AlphaFold Solved a Decade-Long Mystery in Plant Immunity
Over ten years in the making - generations of students and postdocs, countless false starts, and others were chasing this too. Here's the structural basis of NLR activate-and-release, and, yes, we can engineer it.

Really proud of this collaborative work exploring how fungal effectors exploit prion-like domains to access plastids and influence plant metabolism during symbiosis. Great to see the PEPSI–DXR story come together. @neto_flames @JohanaMisas @TheVilchezLab

🌱🦠 Pathogens don’t just target protein degradation—they also hijack host translation. "Bacteria use P-body condensates to attenuate host translation during infection" ⚖️♻️

新作です!  植物の気孔の数を決める受容体キナーゼERECTAのK63ユビキチン修飾部位を同定。修飾不可な受容体は細胞膜上に残存するため活性が亢進し、その結果、気孔の数が減少することを示しました。おめでとう@NewPhyt 🥳🌱

Pinner and Dietz made DNA origami shells which mimic biological clathrin proteins by grabbing onto lipid membranes and pulling out roughly spherical buds! Link "Programmable DNA shell scaffolds for directional membrane budding": https://t.co/K3nTgWf7j3

[Alga Zuccaro @Team_Zuccaro]

Really proud of this work led by Ruben Eichfeld! We show how a CBM domain gain/loss can rewire fungal chitinases, turning them from antifungal enzymes into immune-suppressing effectors that support plant symbiosis. https://t.co/WyuKbZN7EQ

Super interesting work! UFMylation moving up from a local ribosome repair signal to a systems-level coordinator of ER-nucleus #proteostasis

Cell-surface receptors play key roles across many biological processes.
In plants, these receptor families have undergone remarkable expansion. Here, we systematically review these receptors in @ThePlantJournal.

Happy to see this out!
