50 years after its discovery, the role of the T7 kinase is finally revealed - shielding the phage against a wide variety of bacterial immune systems. Very interesting work from the Savitski & Typas labs

Happy to see our paper out @ Nat Comm We discovered a bacterial NLR-like pattern recognition receptor that can sense 3 different viral proteins as a signature for infection. This explains its broad defense against different phage families Congrats Nathalie Béchon! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
