🧬 1/ Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) still surprises us after all these years: It simply sticks to chromatin when pericentric heterochromatin domains – the chromocenters – are activated in mouse fibroblasts and acts as a local rather than global repressor. New preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Gutting when you find your dream project done and dusted on bioRxiv. Du et al. performed an impressive tour-de-force to solve the Clr4-H3K14ub structure. Great to see that the ubiquitin-binding region we found by XDS-MS matches the crystal structure perfectly! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
