🚨Attention diderm enthusiasts 🦠🧫! Want to see the TolQR motor structure? Or why TolA is so alpha-helical? Or what happens when you mutate the centre of TolA to an intrinsically disordered sequence? Read our new paper for all this and more! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

@miangoar Will implement nr protein clustering as a second upload to the same zenodo
English

@miangoar Okay so turns out it's already clustered, 901k genomes are represented by 199,923 species clusters, so they only provide assemblies and FAAs for those guys. I've added taxonomy headers to the FASTAs and will upload to Zenodo, separated by phylum

The Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB R11-RS232) has been updated and now contains ~900k microbial genomes representing ~200k species! 🔥 I don’t know how many proteins this corresponds to, but the gtdb_proteins_aa_reps file is around 123 GB! That’s a lot!

@miangoar Ps: working on the parsing now, will get in touch once it's done!

@ATinyGreenCell Super cool, excited to try it for my cloning when I finally get away from Claude code and back into the lab myself!

I'm genuinely enjoying working on what will be my SnapGene replacement software. Chiseling away toward my freedom is uniquely exciting and I can promise the software will be maintained...bc I'm using it daily. Aiming for a May 24th release date of v1.0.0

Super excited to share our latest work on the bacterial Tol-Pal complex by the brilliant @WeeBoon5! We can (finally) confidently assign the true function of Tol-Pal in maintaining OM lipid homeostasis, independent of its role in cell division! Here's how Wee Boon did it 👇 1/7

New preprint 🚨: with @Mariusz78897208 we found that the Bacteroidetes beta-barrel assembly machinery is quite different to E. coli. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #cryoEM
