Congrats Omer Goldberger for a courageous project and 1st PhD paper. Provides proof-of-concept that the polygenic theory holds for bacteria. Many happy returns 😀 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congrats to tamar szoke for a identifying a novel mechanism for membrane localization of proteins that is evolutionarily conserved from bacteria to yeast mitochondria. Chapeau for promoting this original project while working on your main PhD project febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/18…

Congrats Omer Goldberger and my other team members for the exciting study, published yesterday in Cell Reports, showing that Hfq undergoes phase separation with RNA and the relevance of this process for its activity as an RNA chaperone ...עומר לך בכוחך זה cell.com/cell-reports/f…

What determines polar mRNA localization in E. coli? Shanmugapriya Kannaiah, Orna Amster-Choder et al Faculty of Medicine - The Hebrew University find the polar transcriptome to depend on MinD inhibition of RnaseE recruitment embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

Very proud of my brilliant students Priya Kannaiah and Omer Goldberger for this discovery that assigns unexpected roles to the well-studied MinD and RNase E proteins. So grateful to Tami Geiger and Ora Schueler-Furman for the collaborations 🙏
