And after all the great talks ( @archaellum.bsky.social, Martin van der Laan, Yvonne Nygard, Roel Boevenberg) - Maestro Arnold is entering the stage! 👏

After opening performance by @dirkscheffers.bsky.social and @membraneenzymology.bsky.social , Sonja-Verena Albers @archaellum.bsky.social shares the memories and anecdotes, and her way to Groningen and far beyond 🤩

Back to Groningen @rug.nl these days, one of "alma mater" locations, to celebrate life in science of my dear mentor, Arnold Driessen ❤️‍🔥 Looking forward meeting him and many friends and colleagues - some talks, laugh and drinks are ahead

Congratulations to all the teams involved! 👏 Happy to see it published and sealed!

New publication in J Mol Biol
New insights in to the function of the CLD and the entire hemolysin secretion machinery. Thanks to Holger Gohlke’s lab and CSS for the wonderful collaboration. Congrats to Sakshi and Cigdem!

Spectacular work!! Congratulations!

Global analysis of translocon remodeling during protein synthesis at the ER - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology The authors use selective ribosome profiling to define how and when factors for N-glycosylation and membrane insertion engage and disengage from the core Sec61 translocation channel during biogenesis ...

This was a fun new collaboration using selective ribosome profiling to understand how the subunit composition of the ER translocon is tailored by the nascent chain. Congratulations to everyone involved!

Proteolytically activated antibacterial toxins inhibit the growth of diverse Gram-positive bacteria Many species of bacteria produce small-molecule antibiotics that enter and kill a wide range of competitor microbes. However, diffusible antibacterial proteins that share this broad-spectrum activity ...

A recent cool preprint by John Whitney's lab on a new family of antibacterial proteins secreted by Gram-positive bacteria that enter and kill a broad spectrum of bacteria. Cell entry is receptor-independent and relies on cleavage by a co-secreted protease and the PMF.
