I am delighted to share the latest preprint from our lab, which was work that was conceived and led by @JTenthorey during her postdoc and during the first few months of her independent lab at UCSF.
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
TL;DR: Indels matter. A lot.

Great work from @lizfay20 and a team of undergrads she has assembled! So much interesting data in this paper (check out the paper and Liz’s summary). Definitely the first of many great papers from Liz on host diversity in immune responses!
Our latest preprint from @Daugherty_Lab is live on bioRxiv! We explore the evolution and function of RIP kinases across diverse vertebrates and identify differential conservation of RIPK1-5 and several key associated proteins. 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Another great collaboration with @DengkeMa lab on the role of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in providing novel functions to nematodes! Congrats to all, especially co-first authors Taruna Pandey and @ChinmayK98 !

Interdomain horizontal gene transfer: @dengkema, @Daugherty_Lab and coworkers find that key rml-3 gene conferring nematode exoskeleton resilience against environmental toxins appears to stem from the bacterial kingdom

New work from our @ASAP_Research team: nature.com/articles/s41594-0…. Parkinson’s disease-linked LRRK2’s closest relative, LRRK1 is tightly regulated via different mechanisms than LRRK2. Great collaboration with @aleschziner, @Daugherty_Lab, and Knapp labs

So great to reunite with all of these wonderful friends and scientists to celebrate such a fantastic mentor. Congratulations @HarmitMalik on all you've accomplished in the last 20 years!

A privilege to watch trainees thrive in science & life. Huge thanks to 70 who traveled from as far away as France for 20 yr reunion hosted by Aida de la Cruz, @psmitchej & @Daugherty_Lab.
My heart is full (& our bellies).
I wish all mentors can feel what I'm feeling right now.

Very proud of Sofia Delgado-Rodriguez's first first-author paper (with a lot of help from Andy Ryan)! And it made the cover! This is part of a fantastic special issue on ADP-ribosylation organized by @LeungLab and @FehrLab.

But many macrodomains hadn’t been tested for enzymatic activity. Not surprisingly, many host and viral macrodomains are enzymatically active. What was surprising was that enzymatic activity has been lost several independent times in mammals as well as in alphaviruses.

This suggests that changes in enzymatic activity in host and viral macrodomains might be part of the ongoing host-virus arms race over ADP-ribosylation. More details in the paper. Exciting times to study ADP-ribosylation in the immune response and viral replication!

With #ASV2023 only a few days away, this seems like a good time to resurface here on Twitter. Come hear all about my research with @Daugherty_Lab on Saturday in the Innate Immune workshop. Can’t wait to connect with my fellow virologists for the first time since 2016!

Very proud of @underthelenns for her first first-author manuscript! She wrote a fantastic review on the evolution and mechanisms of 'tripwire' sensing of viral infection by the CARD8 and NLRP1 inflammasomes. Many more great things to come from Lennice!
13 Jun 2023
Excited to see that our review on tripwire effector-triggered immune sensing of viral proteases by CARD8 & NLRP1 is out! My first, first-author pub, and I was lucky to write it with @Daugherty_Lab and the support of fellow Daugherty Lab members.

Biologists led by the @Daugherty_Lab have identified a previously unknown way that our immune system detects viruses. The immune protein CARD8 acts as a trip wire to detect a range of viruses, including the virus that causes COVID. today.ucsd.edu/story/researc… @PLOSBiology
