🚨 Happy to share our new preprint in which we explore different layers of the phage-bacteria arms race.
The highlight: phage homing endonucleases attenuate bacterial defenses 🤯

We uncover how temperate phages can use RNA-guided transcription factors to remodel the flagellar composition of their bacterial host and enhance their fitness. Find the preprint and full story here: tinyurl.com/mshwjd77

Thrilled to share our latest work, just published in Redox Biology!
We show that Cdc48 functions as a redox-sensitive thiol switch regulating proteostasis during stationary phase in yeast.
