‼️Job alert📢🚨
We are recruiting a Junior Group Leader (f) in Protein Science at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, jointly hosted by the Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology and our Collaborative Research Centre CRC 1664 "Plant Proteoform Diversity – SNP2Prot."
It's out! A tour-de-force in plant-virus interactions by @thevirusmc.bsky.social @plantophagy.bsky.social and many others @gmivienna.bsky.social @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social. It turns out autophagy prevents virus-induced cell death, allowing plants to tolerate viral infection! A must-read 🌱
Now online at @natplants.nature.com ‼️ Led by Jierui Zhao, a former PhD student @gmivienna.bsky.social & together w/ @moritznowack.bsky.social lab, we uncover how #autophagy shapes salt stress tolerance and lifespan. www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41... A short 🧵👇
This study reveals that enhanced autophagy in root-hair-forming cells helps Arabidopsis store excess sodium, control oxidative stress and tolerate salt stress.www.nature.com
Our work is out now! (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). We discover a selective autophagy pathway that protects plants from the mess caused by RNA viruses. Intrigued? Follow the spaghetti trail for a summary of our findings🧵-->

Sucha fantastic visit!!!! Thanks Marco for hosting! Going back to an MPI always feels like home!
RNA viruses co-opt host endomembranes to form replication complexes, often triggering cellular stress and immune responses. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana activates selective autophagy to res...
Thank you so much @manavellalab.bsky.social for visiting us @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social 🌱 It was a great day of discussion, especially with @claudiakohler11.bsky.social @carogutj.bsky.social @gesahoffmann.bsky.social @gerardodeltoro.bsky.social @fritz-kragler.bsky.social See you soon in Malaga!
Next stop Spain/Málaga 😍 Excited to talk about cell-type specificity,spatial immunity, heterogeneity & then in one of my favorite countries 🤩
I will mainly present our work on how „Autophagy acts as spatial organizer of cell-type specific 🌱 immunity“

From Doubt to Discovery: A 15-Year Journey into Proteostasis, Pathogens, and Persistence
More than 15 years ago, during my PhD, we stumbled upon something unexpected. In a yeast two-hybrid screen, bacterial effector proteins from Xanthomonas and Pseudomonas interacted with a subunit of…
