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/s41586-0…

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)

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 wonderful collaboration between @Kobe_Lab_, Milbrandt & DiAntonio @WUSTL, @MingGuoChu, @Muzzapythopath and us @GlycoGriffith
Congratulations @manikrpc, Yun Shi, @insulin_SulinLi and all co-authors!
We are happy to announce that our paper about signaling molecules produced by bacterial TIRs is published in Science today science.org/doi/epdf/10.1126…. It was a concerted effort from many groups around the world. Thanks @Piperproduction for rendering for our EM structure of AbTir.

🚨New chemical tools for SARM1!🚨
Very excited to see our work published today in @PNASNews detailing the chemoproteomic discovery of stereoselective/site-specific allosteric #SARM1 inhibitors. Huge thanks to #LLJRC, @Andrea_Loreto1, and all co-authors! pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.1073/pn…

Did you know there are lots of similarities between the innate immune systems of animals/plants and the phage defense systems in bacteria? Check out our new study by the amazing trio Alex (Linyi) Gao, @maxewilkinson, and @thestrecker. Congratulations! science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/….
