Now out! Together with Kenneth Berendzen, Yu Zhou et al., in a commendable team effort, set up a FANS-FAPS protocol for the isolation of plant Cajal bodies @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social — revealing kingdom-specific protein composition: academic.oup.com/nar/article/...
Proteome profiling of plant Cajal bodies uncovers kingdom-specific components
Abstract. Membraneless organelles (MLOs) in eukaryotic cells, such as the nuclear Cajal body (CB), have been notoriously difficult to biochemically isolate

New Preprint! We identified 20 new type II-secreted effectors from Xanthomonas euvesicatoria and show that they help bacteria feed and remodel plant cell walls during infection.

Defining the Xanthomonas euvesicatoria type II-secreted effector arsenal: core nutritional functions and effector diversity
The type II secretion (T2S) system is conserved across the Xanthomonas lineage, yet its contributions to pathogenicity and secreted protein repertoires are poorly defined. We demonstrate that T2S syst...
