Our huge effort unveils a puzzle of #ESCRT-III using cutting-edge🔬#CryoEM #AFM #FLM Witness how #Vipp1 crafts dynamic spiral filaments on the membrane, orchestrating stunning ring biogenesis at the core! Pleased to contribute & be prt of a grt collab @thelowlab @Colom_D @RouxLab

[Harry Low’s Lab @thelowlab]

The missing piece in the bacterial #ESCRT-III story.. #Vipp1 forms dynamic spiral filaments on membrane! Spirals are springs that drive 3D ring formation in the spiral centre! 😎😵‍💫 Wonderful collaboration with @Colom_D @RouxLab… 1/2

My co-first author paper now out in @Nature

SWR1 specifically exchanges H2A/H2B dimers for Htz1/H2B dimers in nucleosomes. Here we show double dimer exchange can be processive, explaining how SWR1 ‘proofreads’ dimer identity in a nucleosome.

Excited to share our first exploration of the pilus-forming Tad secretion system in bacteria.. here showing the assembly mechanism of a secretin-pilotin complex.. And congratulations to brilliant @Matteo_tassina for his relentless heroics in the lab 👏

[Harry Low’s Lab @thelowlab]

Wonderful work by @Michohl1980 and @EmmaJBanks probing how the bacterial Tad pilus system motor powers both pilus assembly and retraction. Thank you to the @Tung_BK_Le lab for the fantastic collaboration.. 👏

Fantastic work by Hohl et al. on the Tad pilus system, revealing CpaF's role in bidirectional processing. A must-read. Exciting collaboration between @thelowlab, @Tung_BK_Le, and @EmmaJBanks - congratulations to all authors on this achievement!

[Michael Hohl @Michohl1980]

Please have a look at the new paper of the Low lab @thelowlab. The second take on the Tad pilus system, providing the structural basis of the bidirectional pilus processing by CpaF. Great collaboration with Tung Le @Tung_BK_Le and @EmmaJBanks.

@jarottingen @wellcometrust @royalsociety The argument is always put in terms of the costs of a researcher and family of x.
How many ECRs are in that situation really?
Whilst UK visa costs are high, the real issue is pay. We need an entire new postdoc payscale nationally and a recognition that scientists are valued.

[John-Arne Røttingen @jarottingen]

Irrespective of election results, the next UK government needs to make sure that UK universities and research institutes are able to attract the best global science talents. @wellcometrust appreciates the study by @royalsociety on "tax on talent" https://t.co/NxmtnmbhwJ

@ZhuYongli4 @lipn Agree...

[Souvik Naskar @souvik_naskar]

Thanks @LIPN for organizing such a wonderful symposium! I am truly honored to have presented my work on cyanobacteria membrane remodelling by ESCRT-III-like proteins. Great audience! #LIPN2024 #BacterialESCRTIII

[London Infection Network for/by ECRs (LINE) @LondonECR]

Our next speaker: @souvik_naskar presents his great work on the twisting tales cyanobacter uses ESCRT-III-like proteins can tell and teach us about membrane dynamics and remodelling.

[Souvik Naskar @souvik_naskar]

@ZhuYongli4 @LondonPostdoc Yes.

[Souvik Naskar @souvik_naskar]

@thelowlab @lipn Thanks, Harry! Credit goes to you too! ;)

[Souvik Naskar @souvik_naskar]

@davidroper2 @USouthernMaine @uniofwarwick I'm on my way to GRC too, but at Barcelona.

[David I Roper @davidroper2]

I will be at the GRC #BactCellSurf @USouthernMaine next week if anyone would like to chat.
NB @uniofwarwick pays visa fees and NHS surcharge if required.

[Souvik Naskar @souvik_naskar]

@MaskewK @lipn Thank you Kathryn @MaskewK . It's always a pleasure to hear from you. I'm fine. Hope you are doing well too. Should catch up sometime....

[Javier Espadas @jespadas91]

Excited to share the latest news! Methylation of CHMP2B regulates abscission timing at the cytokinetic bridge. Kudos to Souhila Medjkane, @aurelieRCHRD, Jeremy Berthelet in the @WeitzmanlabP! Thrilled to have contributed with the @RouxLab! Link below:

Our latest work on cell division is out. FtsEX:RipC in M. tuberculosis presents unique features compared with G(-) as a surprising inclined arrangement. A nice joint effort with Luo Min and Chris Sham Labs at @NUSingapore against this nefarious pathogen. https://t.co/QHmlHJ6z1k
