Online Now: TRIM21 induces selective autophagy of viruses and bacteria Online now:
Dual-channel Cx46/50 gap junction assemblies in a shared lipid-nanodisc = lipid-mediated packing and a lipid site near the NT gating region that is absent from single channels. Plus a 1.8 Å open-state single-channel benchmark! #cryo-EM 🍩’s #NIH-funded-research www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
One week left to apply for two 3-year postdocs in the lab on molecular mechanisms of Burkholderia pathogenesis. Posts associated with Magdalen College. Our lab is based in the Dunn School of Pathology with amazing collaborators at Oxford and MORU magdalencareers.pinpointhq.com/postings/c90...
Only a couple of days left to register for the UK Cellular Microbiology Network Meeting - we will have a great line up of speakers and poster presenters investigating various pathogens in cell-based, tissue and in vivo models.
Thrilled to announce that the Department of Microbiology at the University of Washington, School of Medicine is hiring at the Assistant Professor level (tenure-track)!
The Pacific Northwest is an awesome place to live and do science 🧪🦠. Join us!

Rhinesmith et al. describe an intracellular antimicrobial mechanism called “antibody-directed xenophagy” (ADX). In ADX, the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM21 prevents infection by intercepting antibody-coated viruses/bacteria in the cytosol and orchestrating their destruction via selective autophagy. The authors hypothesize that ADX may be co-opted for targeted protein degradation.
Job Opening: Calleva Centre Postdoctoral Researchers- The deadly enigma of melioidosis: Decoding the pathogenesis of Burkholderia pseudomallei. at Magdalen College in Central Oxford.
Over the past 5 years, 50 structures of full-length HECT-type ligase constructs have been deposited in the PDB. What have we learned from these studies, and what key questions remain open? Check out our new review on this exciting and fast-moving field: www.jbc.org/article/S002...

The Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at OHSU invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor position.
Ubiquitin coordinates a complex network of cellular pathways through covalent modification
of substrates. Specificity in substrate recognition and modification choice is largely
conferred by ubiquitin...
