Our latest T7SS study is now out in Science Advances!
We solved the cryoEM structure of the T7SSb core unit (T7bCU) composed of YukB, YukC, and YukD from Bacillus subtilis, revealing how these components assemble within the secretion machinery.

1/ New results on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social uncover a previously unrecognised mechanism of peptide perception and receptor activation.

With @cellsensing.bsky.social @unil.bsky.social we show how small structural changes underlie ligand binding specificity in conserved receptors.
