Thrilled to share that my paper is officially published at PNAS! So grateful to my collaborators, the ability to mentor students who became my co-authors, and to my mentor @nkoropatkin for her unending support! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Making the jump to the new app 🦋 follow me there for more science and lipoprotein alerts!

ID & characterization of the lipoprotein N-acyltransferase in Bacteroides pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… @nkoropatkin @KristaTooTurnt Shows deletion of Lnb negatively affects cellular growth & ability to degrade polysaccharides, deepening understanding of Bacteroidota & lipoproteins.

@BasileBeaud @nkoropatkin Thanks Bacille!

@KristaTooTurnt @nkoropatkin Congrats Krista ! Great work ✨

@JiawenJiang0705 @nkoropatkin Couldn't have done it without you!! 👏

@KristaTooTurnt @nkoropatkin Congrats Krista:) !!

@BrianaSprague @nkoropatkin Takes one to know one 😘

Baby's first crosslinking experiment! 🔗 Left is untreated, right is formaldehyde-treated. How does it look?

@CCanimorsus Awesome to see this out! Super cool to see the differences between Bacteroidetes and E. coli pathways 🤯

I am happy to share with you our last work on lipoprotein transport in Bacteroidetes! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

📢📢📢 LIPOPROTEIN ALERT First description of LolAB in Bacteroidetes! Both not essential (‼️) but big effects on gliding, morphology, protein localization, & more! Also not interchangeable with E. coli LolAB despite structural similarities 🤯 Bacteroidetes physiology is WILD

Does anyone have experience with myc-tag purification of proteins, particularly w/ detergent? My myc-tagged lipoprotein is almost completely in the flowthrough, very little binding. Sample is in 0.5% DDM for solubilization. Too much? Does myc purification tolerate detergent? 🆘🙏

@BasileBeaud @ChrisBel70 @SGribaldo Awesome work! Congrats 🍻

Happy to share a chapter of my PhD thesis🐣! We review the diversity of the cell envelope in Terrabacteria which tell us a lot about outer membrane biogenesis and the diderm-to-monoderm transition. Thanks to my co-authors Najwa Taib @ChrisBel70 @SGribaldo nature.com/articles/s4157…

My birthday was Tuesday and someone already made me say my age out loud 🥴🫠

This week I was confused why my Western didn't work. I later realized it was because I completely skipped adding my secondary. That was a first for me, it's never too late to make new mistakes!

@_thbo_ Thank you, that is so nice! I wish the same for you 😊

@KristaTooTurnt Hope you can visualize the bands of your proteins, completely pure and isolated 🤓

2x the gel means double the fun, right? 🤪
