Ubiquitin signalling: controlling the message of surface immune receptors Microbial attack is first detected by immune receptors located at the plasma membrane. Their activation triggers a plethora of signalling cascades that culminate in the immune response. Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like protein modifiers play key roles in controlling signalling amplitude and intensity, as well as in buffering …
We wellcome Kai Clemens to our team! After working with moss, he will now try to develop crop plants with enhanced resistance to pathogens using components of the ubiquitin modification system.
We are very excited to see this article now published in PNAS. Happy to have been able to contribute! Great cooperation with Jacqui Monaghan’s Lab (Queen’s University, Canada). Check it out! https://www.pnas.org/content/118/19/e2024272118
Excited to share our latest work in which we show that the “#Exocyst Subunit Exo70B2 is Linked to #Immunity and #Autophagy” maintaining cellular #homeostasis during enhanced secretory activity @ThePlantCell @UniFreiburg @TrujilloLab https://twitter.com/TrujilloLab/status/1334528391698112514 This was quite the ordeal to get published, but we are proud about the result #exocyst #secretion #immunity #autophagy #phosphorylation #signalling #kinase #crosskindom …
Alaa joined us all the way from Palestine by way of Fukuoka (Japan). He invited us all to some delicious “Ramen” and “Udon” noodles. Carmen carefully inspected them carefully beforehand. Thank you Alaa, it was oishi!
Check out this excellent cooperation paper with Ingo Heilmann from the University of Halle and Sabine Rosahl from the IPB “A phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase from Solanum tuberosum is activated by PAMP-treatment and may antagonize phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate at Phytophthora infestans infection sites” New Phytologist https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/nph.16853
Check out our report for the Freiburg Conference on Plant Proteostasis: “Plant proteostasis – shaping the proteome: a research community aiming to understand molecular mechanisms that control protein abundance” https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.16664 This was an outstanding oportunity to connect with the community! The next chance will be during the Gordon Research Conference …
Somewhat overdue, but a big congrats to Moritz for his successful Master Defence! We celebrated with some delicious apple pie and ice cream. No worries Moritz, we’ll keep on looking for AIMs 😉
We are looking for a highly motivated individual with experience in protein biochemistry and cell biology. The successful candidate will possess a Master in Science (full award) in protein biochemistry or a related discipline. The person should show initiative, function well in a team, and have a hands-on mentality, perseverance and critical mind-set. Proficiency in …
