🎉 New paper out in Science! In collaboration with Marc Therrien’s lab, we show how oncogenic BRAF mutants adopt a pre-active conformation, escaping auto-inhibition and driving RAS–ERK pathway activation in cancer. Proud to have contributed! #IRIC #CBMN @iecb.bsky.social @univbordeaux.bsky.social

Happy to share a new little paper from our team - by @origichals.bsky.social et al. It describes a strategy to make SUMO1 more crystallisable by fusing it with a helper domain. Check out the nice ITC showing it still binds to SIM motifs. We are now working on co-crystallisation with SIM peptides.
