Congrats @brongriff & Dr Yun Shi on your @nhmrc grants! A/Prof Griffin's work on early intervention strategy for kids with burns & Dr Shi will study brain biomolecule that protects nerve cells in neurodegenerative disorders @GlycoGriffith @Griffith_Health news.griffith.edu.au/2024/05/02/gri…

QPG would like to announce the 2023 Queensland Protein Group and Ross Smith ECR Award Symposium will be held on Tuesday 17th October at the Queensland Brain Institute from 1 – 5pm followed by a mixer and presentation of the awards (see attached flyer for more information).

Dear QPG member, the deadline is coming up soon, get your abstract and CV ready for an exciting opportunity to speak at ASBMB 2023 and get your registration costs covered by QPG.

Did you know that bacterial #viruses glue #RNA to proteins? We discovered that a T4 #phage #ART links NAD-RNA to E. coli proteins. We call this an #RNAylation. Great collaboration with @JaeschkeLab and Urlaub Lab. Congratulations to @MaikSchauerte 🍾 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to share our preprint on using unsupervised learning to find inhibitors from fragments hits. The idea is learning a distance distribution of pharmacophores from fragment hits, and then scoring a large purchasable library using that. (1/3) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So excited that we finally have the ACTIVE NLRP3 inflammasome structure, thanks to super talented Le Xiao @LeXiao17, and Venkat Magupalli @MagupalliVenny! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Dear QPG members. Please vote for your new QPG executive, Treasurer, Secretary and Website coordinator! surveymonkey.com/r/RV276PP

2 new papers in JCI from the DiAntonio/Milbrandt labs shed new light on Sarm1’s role in neurodegeneration. 1)Chronic Sarm1 activation leads to macrophage recruitment that plays a role in axon degeneration. 2)Eliminating Sarm1 slowed AXD in a model of CMT. tinyurl.com/27f5udjm

Out today @cellhostmicrobe: An expanded arsenal of bacterial immune systems Even if you previously read the preprint, don’t miss a major new result on the bacterial SEFIR domain, a homolog of human immune domains A thread 🧵 1/9 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

It's on again in 2022! The Ross Smith ECR Medal Symposium this year will be held on 15th November at the Glycomics Institute, Griffith University. Please apply for either ECR or student prizes and look forward to seeing you there! eventbrite.com.au/e/2022-ross-sm…

The Kranzusch lab (kranzuschlab.med.harvard.edu) and Sorek lab @SorekLab report discovery of gcADPRs as a new class of antiviral signals. @nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

Plant and prokaryotic TIR domains generate distinct cyclic ADPR NADase products biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We made #AlphaFold dream of new protein assemblies, used #ProteinMPNN to bring it back to reality, and the results were stunning! (1/5) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Uncompetitive, adduct-forming SARM1 inhibitors are neuroprotective in preclinical models of nerve injury and disease @neuron cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Released today @EMDB_EMPIAR & @PDBeurope, & published @ScienceMagazine, #CryoEM structure of the Toll/interleukin-1 receptor domain from #AbTir in complex with 3AD. Study by Mohammad K. Manik et al., @ 2.74 Å resolution.

@ElisaTelisa @MarkvonI Thank you, Elisa and Mark 🙂

A fascinating piece of research from our Institute researcher Thomas Ve and his group.
