Do you have bioactive compounds/drug molecules and want to unveil the mode of action? Chemoproteomic profiling is a promising solution to reveal the interaction partners in the cells, so to get a sense of how it works.

Very happy to see this cool application of our SLIPT technology from Richard Wombacher's lab @wombacherlab.bsky.social. With dual SLIPT, you can now control defined, sequential protein dimerization on the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane! Congrats to all the authors! 🎉

Happy to see my Postdoc work out @natbiotech.nature.com. Using HaloTag and synthetic fluorophores instead of FPs enables us to shift the spectral properties of kinase activity reporters (KARs) to the far-red 🔬. Huge thanks to everyone involved @jinzhanglab.bsky.social! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New tools! GreenPy and ApplePy are fluorescent biosensors for pyruvate with huge responses (20–40x in vitro) and a range of affinities (10s of μM to mM). These should be game changers for imaging of metabolism! Great work by Shosei Imai @sikmys.bsky.social and team 👏. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

After 6 years of careful experiments, we’re excited to share our latest manuscript on the identification and function of the PDZD8–FKBP8 protein complex! We now have convincing evidence that structural regulation of mitochondria via ER–mitochondria tethering proteins is real. rdcu.be/eihrF

🚨New preprint: There's this overlooked phospholipid with 3 acyl tails called NAPE that is made during ischemia. We identified its interactome & found it regulates lactate flux, suggesting metabolic functions in response to hypoxia. Congrats to Dylan Chiu! doi.org/10.26434/che... #lipidtime #chembio
