very well done @baptistedarracq.bsky.social , @celineloot.bsky.social and all coauthors

well done Sol 🥳

😂 indeed

Whaou, well done @ Eligo team

DUF4297 and HerA form abortosome to mediate bacterial immunity against phage infection Tang et al. reveal that bacterial DUF4297 and HerA assemble into a supramolecular abortosome to efficiently degrade DNA and elicit abortive infection to mediate anti-phage function. This defense syste...

His lab is a great friendly place to do cutting edge science. He hired me on his ERC grant and I hope to pursue this adventure, hopefuly on a @pasteur.fr position if not considered too old. Funilly if retirement is 67, I should have another 16 years in front of me as I just turned 51. Any comments?

Very happy to have worked on the PARIS system in Paris in @dbikard.bsky.social lab in the vibrant @pasteur.fr
Whereas most French academic structures "indirectely" implied that I'm "too old" to be hired, David did trust in my expertise and my ability to do good research. 👇

A virally encoded tRNA neutralizes the PARIS antiviral defence system - Nature Structural and functional studies reveal how viral proteins trigger the phage antirestriction induced system (PARIS) to degrade host tRNA and how viral tRNAs suppress the PARIS nuclease and thereby ov...

Reposting this here: Two years ago we published the discovery of hotspots of novel anti-phage defense systems in the genome of P4 phage satellites, including a mysterious Phage Anti-Restriction Induced System (PARIS). We have now published the mechanism in @Nature www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Three scientists stand before a workbench. On it are a computer, tools and some laboratory glassware. they are made of chunky pixels the size of golf balls. One of the scientists says “our budget has been cut so from now on we’ll be working with low-res equipment”.
