This is the culmination of >10 years of work by generations of students and postdocs. Many false starts. And we know that others have tried too.
Structural insights into the activate-and-release mechanism of NLR activation.
And we can engineer it too!
Kudos Team 🙏🔥

Check out our latest work! AlphaFold 3 revealed a transient immune receptor complex that eluded biochemical studies for almost a decade 🤯 We describe a conserved structural logic underlying sensor–helper communication in an NLR immune receptor network 🧵👇
