After a busy summer the main part of the Atkinson and Hauryliuk labs are settled in the Department of Experimental Medical Science (EMV), Lund University. We will miss Umeå, but we’re excited for the fun science ahead in Lund! We still have Umeå connections, with a new post-doc Bhanu Chouhan recently starting in Umeå to…

Big thanks to the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation for funding our research on toxin-antitoxin systems for 5 years! https://kaw.wallenberg.org/en/press/total-sek-541-million-granted-18-research-projects-sweden?fbclid=IwAR2bqEsQutcVyqpVmGsUDKZaZ8HLhCtg7wF9AEocCkggtU9SVfVJeTazsio

Happy to report that the paper reporting our tools FlaGs and WebFlaGs will soon be published. Give them a try here: http://webflags.se/

This was a really fun collaboration with the Wilson and Hauryliuk labs. Ribosomal protein synthesis without the small subunit, classical translation factors or even mRNA! Fun things happen during ribosome quality control

hope to share final version soon!

INTEGRATED STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY (ISB) POSTDOCTORAL PROGRAM PROJECT SUMMARY: Bacterial toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems have diverse functions, including defence against phages and maintenance of genetic elements. The lab of Gemma C. Atkinson has discovered a large network of promiscuous toxin-antitoxin domain pairs that swap partners across vast evolutionary distances. These novel TAs are being characterised microbiologically and…
