I'm telling you - it's really cool ))

A ligand-binding sensor domain got a tiny insertion from cytochrome c, which contained a heme-binding motif, and now it is a nitric oxide sensor. As simple as that: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

SeqHub - The Home for Biological Sequences SeqHub is a platform for exploring, annotating, and sharing biological sequences.

I've just learnt about this - a really cool platform for annotating new bacterial genomes and metagenomes. A very intuitive, biologist-friendly interface and a powerful gene neighborhood tool. So, if you have a new (meta)genome - don't go anywhere else. It's free (I don't know why -)) - seqhub.org

FliO is an evolutionarily conserved yet diversified core component of the bacterial flagellar type III secretion system The bacterial flagellum is a complex nanomachine essential for motility, environmental sensing, and host colonization. While many of its core components have been well characterized, the relevance of ...

We keep learning new things about bacterial flagella:

I've asked ChatGPT about my name.
The two spellings Zhulin and Jouline are both transliterations of the same original Russian surname Жулин — but they follow different transliteration conventions: Zhulin Anglo-style transliteration, Jouline French-style transliteration. Are we clear now :-)?

Structural and functional diversity of sensor domains in bacterial transmembrane receptors The ability of bacteria to adapt to changing environmental conditions largely depends on transmembrane receptors that sense signal molecules and gener…

Specificities of Chemosensory Receptors in the Human Gut Microbiota The human gut is rich in metabolites and harbors a complex microbial community, yet the sensory repertoire of its commensal bacteria remains largely uncharacterized. Here we systematically mapped liga...

Together with Victor Sourjik, we are going into the gut! Wish us luck :-)
