Working in the institute situated in the botanical garden has many perks ☺️ it was great to see (and smell…) the titan arum bloom 🌱

Thanks to my lab mates and friends for making this day so special! Couldn’t be happier celebrating my 30th birthday with you! And also happy birthday to María - there is no one else I would rather share my birthday with 😅🥳💐

DdiA, an XRE family transcriptional regulator, regulates a LexA-independent DNA damage response in Myxococcus xanthus www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02....

Single-stranded DNA binding to the transcription factor PafBC triggers the mycobacterial DNA damage response The structure of PafBC in its active conformation reveals the binding mode of the activating ligand at the PafBC WYL domains.

Important paper from the Weber-Ban lab about the mechanism of activation of PafBC in the mycobacterial DNA damage response.
