As seen on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social: our story on how the dreaded late blight pathogen hijacks a helper NLR pathway is now out in its final form! 🎉
Meet AVRcap1b: the two-faced effector 🧵👇

Love how scicom is so much a part of @TheSainsburyLab culture.

🧬 Diatoms are an extraordinarily diverse group of photosynthetic organisms, with tens of thousands of described species.
Yet technical challenges still limit large-scale diatom genome production.
EBP projects and biodiversity genomics R&D teams are working to solve them. 🌊🔬

Two faces calls for two papers! Check out our companion paper showing how the same AVRcap1b stalls stepwise assembly of the tomato NRC3 resistosome mid-build!

A plant pathogen effector suppresses an activated helper NLR via a host ENTH domain–containing protein, NbTOL9a.
🚨 New @biorxivpreprint alert! 🚨
We are thrilled to share our latest findings—building on our earlier work on suppressors of helper NLRs of the NRC family—a Phytophthora infestans L-shaped effector captures resistosome assembly intermediates of tomato NRC3!
