Can expression of a peptide lead to antimicrobial resistance? Yes it can! We discovered this for a toxin we work with and started exploring how #peptides, #antimicrobialresistance and de-novo gene birth can come together. @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social Amazing work by @rianneprins.bsky.social

Small proteins and peptides conferring protection against antimicrobial compounds
The secretion of antimicrobials is widespread among microorganisms, many of which have developed protection mechanisms. While well-characterized protection mechanisms involve relatively large proteins – such as exporters or compound- or target-modifying…

Out now! We consolidated >600 Dutch yeast and characterised their activity against spoilage yeasts and relevant human and plant pathogens, focusing on yeasts that secrete antifungal proteins. Great resource for biocontrol and beyond. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39875071/

De novo designed proteins neutralize lethal snake venom toxins - Nature
Deep learning methods have been used to design proteins that can neutralize the effects of three-finger toxins found in snake venom, which could lead to the development of safer and more accessible an...
