If you always wanted to know the kinetics of how the Polycomb enzymes modify chromatin, we are thrilled to share our work!!! πŸŽ‰πŸ“„πŸ§¬πŸ”¬ Thank you, @beatfierz.bsky.social for all the guidance as well as the @lcbm-epfl.bsky.social group members for all the support! doi.org/10.1126/scia...

Out in @pnas.org today Showcasing the power of NMR! NMR and enzyme kinetics show USP7 enzyme transiently sampling its low-populated active state, and its hyperactive disease variant enhancing these dynamics www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Stellar work by students Gabrielle Valles and Emilie Korchak

Very happy to share two back-to-back preprints of my postdoc work on bacterial NEL E3 ligases from my time in @katrinrittinger.bsky.social lab at @crick.ac.uk in collaboration with the ChemBio team at GSK (1/4)

Have you ever wondered how repeated vaccination shapes our immune responses, and whether timing between doses matters? Check out our latest work! @ohsunews.bsky.social @ohsummi.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Another awesome collaboration with @jnpruneda.bsky.social and team providing deeper insight into the writers of MARUbylation. Check out thread πŸ‘‡!

Sharing the next installment of our fun collaboration with @michaelnadbio.bsky.social at the interface of #ubiquitin and #ADP-ribosylation! Building upon our identification of cellular MARUbylation, we now identify reader/writer E3 ligases that extend K11 polyUb! 🧡 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

How can a Salmonella effector change the specificity of a host kinase? SteE mediates kinase reprogramming via mimicry of conserved eukaryotic-like motifs- doi.org/10.1038/s443... Great collaboration with @katrinrittinger.bsky.social + big thanks to all authors & congrats to lead PDRA Ioanna Panagi!

Great to see this out. A story that spanned continents, cities and budget codes… www.nature.com/articles/s41... Big thanks to all the teams involved! @clausenlab.bsky.social @e3chembio.bsky.social

Excited that our work revealing the structure and function of the monster stress response silencing factor, the E3 ligase SIFI, is now out! Congratulations to the most amazing team of Zhi Yang, Diane Haakonsen, Michael Heider and Sam Witus! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Super happy to share that our work on the specific inhibition of USP30 - a clinical stage Parkinson's drug target - is now online at NSMB www.nature.com/articles/s41... Have a read if you fancy chimeric protein engineering or a framework for DUB ligandability. Huge congratulations to Nafizul & team!

Want to learn more about chromatin and its dynamics? Read this review by Charlotte and Jolijn in our lab, aimed at giving an overview on this and the ways this is dealt with during transcription, replication and damage repair. Thanks to Biochemistry for inviting us! doi.org/10.1021/acs....

Congratulations to the groups of Eric Barklis and @tafesselab.bsky.social for reporting an analysis of factors that regulate HIV-1 fusion in reverse pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

How do cells keep their cilia β€œclean” and functional? Our new study uncovers a conserved mechanism for retrieving polyubiquitinated proteins from #cilia – a process essential for cellular signaling and health. #cellbiology #ciliopathy #ubiquitin #IFT πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡ 1/n

I would like to share our latest work: After years of optimisation, we have developed a flow cytometry-based method to isolate pathogen-containing phagosomes. Paired with sensitive proteomics, this provides exciting new insights into host-pathogen interactions! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Online now - the Spotlight "Modifying the modifiers: ubiquitination of ADP-ribosylation in human cells" from @kfeijszaja.bsky.social and colleagues. #ADPribosylation #ubiquitination #MARUbylation #crosstalk authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

Thanks @kfeijszaja.bsky.social and team for the excellent Spotlight on our collaborative work with @jnpruneda.bsky.social: Modifying the modifiers: ubiquitination of ADP-ribosylation in human cells: Trends in Biochemical Sciences www.cell.com/trends/bioch...

New role for macrophages in Shigella infection control @cgmargarida.bsky.social @lshtm.bsky.social @cp-cellreports.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Happy to see our review out in ChemBioChem @chemistryeurope.bsky.social in which we describe the tools and strategies for deciphering linkage type-specific #ubiquitin signalling: doi.org/10.1002/cbic.... Thanks to Julian for spearheading this, and to Camilla and Dominik for important contributions.

Another insightful piece recently out @natsmb.nature.com delineating how Shigella utilises its effector IpaH1.4 to counteract host RNF213-induced LPS ubiquitylation. Very interesting work by the lab of @felixrandow.bsky.social. If you want to, have a go at it: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Finally for today, a collaborative effort led by the lab of @zeqiraj.bsky.social discovers molecular glues for BRISC, a deubiquitylating enzyme regulating inflammatory signalling. A delightful read here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... and the authors original thread here: bsky.app/profile/zeqi...

We @natsmb.nature.com recently published an insightful manuscript on ubiquitin-independent proteasomal degradation via the NUB1-FAT10 axis by the lab of Andreas Martin. A very interesting read found here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Coers lab is now on bsky.

Come and work with me! The Nature Micro team is expanding and we're looking for someone to champion microbial ecology, plant micro & related areas for the journal Knowledge of microbial ecology/plant micro is desirable but we're open to applications from all microbiologists Link below πŸ‘‡

Happy to share my Ph.D work!! Our latest paper shows VCP/p97 uses its tweezer-like action to tear invading bacteria apart β€” a powerful cellular defense! 🦠 @natmicrobiol.nature.com @BsbeIitb @iitbombay @CSIR This was years of hard work! Thanks allπŸ™Œ #microbiology #cellautonomous #immunity #ubiquitin

After a great review process with @naturecomms.bsky.social, I'm so happy to share our work identifying inactive RING E3 #ubiquitin #pseudoligases in the TRIM protein family!! rdcu.be/ehlGW πŸ₯³ 🍾 πŸ™Œ @katmcphie.bsky.social @diegoesposito.bsky.social @katrinrittinger.bsky.social @crick.ac.uk

Excited to share our latest work, now out in @lsajournal.org. we show that the E3 ligase HOIL-1 can ubiquitinate many different saccharides and describe a chemoenzymatic platform to generate ubiquitinated sugars as tools for studying non-proteinaceous ubiquitination.

RNF213, a host E3 ligase, ubiquitylates LPS to mark cytosol-invading bacteria for autophagy. But how do cytosol-adapted bacteria escape? We found that Shigella's E3 ligase IpaH1.4 blocks LPS ubiquitylation by degrading RNF213 via the proteasome. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great news: NIH postbac program is recruiting again! If your grad school plans were affected by program cutbacks or admissions freezes this year I highly encourage you to apply, this could be a perfect opportunity. Please repost. www.training.nih.gov/research-tra...

New Preprint: We have solved the structure of the proteasome in complex with two different ubiquitin chains: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... This work is spearheaded by PhD Student Sascha Amann Let me walk you through it 🧡 1/9
