New in @CommsBio: We discovered a tyrosine motif that creates a switch for J-domain proteins. Phosphorylation of this motif disrupts the fold, causing degradation or loss of Hsp70 activation. Congrats Raju, @annaleder.bsky.social , @chercheurjuteux.com & all coauthors www.nature.com/articles/s42...

How does one gene perform different functions in different tissues? Our new publication in @CommsBio sheds some light on the disparate roles of Usher Syndrome disease gene PCDH15.

Commsbio made a nice little Video summary for our paper on the chemosensory toolkit of the nursery spider Pisaura mirabilis.
Thanks, Joao Valente!

Discovery of chemosensory sensilla with different distributions on the body appendages and between the sexes of a cursorial spider, combined with evidence of olfactory mate attraction, provides insights into chemical communication in spiders.

🚨Out now 🚨😎

Our latest paper published in @CommsBio led by the
@jameskhane.bsky.social lab @theccdm.bsky.social shown the ⚖️balancing act of RIP vs negative selection in generating genetic diversity in a major🌾wheat fungal pathogen!

Find out more! 👇👇👇
theccdm.bsky.social Centre for Crop and Disease Management @theccdm.bsky.social · Feb 4
🌾Pathogens are constantly evolving to outsmart crops! Our team analyzed 173 isolates of the fungus behind Stagonospora nodorum blotch🧬
They found it uses DNA mutations like RIP to diversify—while harmful mutations are filtered out🦠
