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🧵-->
@khongsamchia.bsky.social Extremely excited to share the first pre-print from my PhD project in the Carella lab, co-first authored with @khongsamchia.bsky.social 🎉 (Thread below ⬇️) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Huge thanks to all co-authors and the #CarellaCapybaras for all the support 😊

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...

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 🧵👇
Started off as convergent observations in the lab with Mau and led to one of my favorite works so far! Gotta love molecular evolution and receptor biology 😊🧬💻 Huge effort from @maigarro.bsky.social @mpcontreras.bsky.social for pushing this together to the end. 🤘🏻

Check out our updated activation-and-release model. This one image condenses over 10 years of work from many legendary @kamounlab.bsky.social members 🤯 Big shoutout to Chih-Hang, @tolgaboz.bsky.social, Lida, Aki, Selvaraj, @jmadhuprakash.bsky.social, @hsuanpai.bsky.social, Ben and many more!
Huge team effort together with the two legends @amiralito.bsky.social & Maián! Thanks to Raoul Frijters from @rijkzwaan.bsky.social for inspiration and to @kamounlab.bsky.social for the constant support. It was a pleasure to put this story together! Check it out now👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

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 🧵👇 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
