Carcinogens in tobacco smoke leave the genome vulnerable to deamination by viral restriction factor APOBEC3B. This new pattern of mutations known as “Didyma” can help delineate the origins a different cancers. Check out the full Pre-Print here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

🚨 APOBEC3B (A3B) is a major source of🧬mutation in cancer The active site is like Teflon (not much binds) BUT @Ozlem__Dmr discovered a druggable allosteric site 👀 Experiments by @DanHarki @_ChemKat @HarrisLabUTHSA 💪 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

What a great way to start the day. This superb work from the Pillai lab, driven by Prajwal Boddu and a little help from us @bdelapenavalos is finally in print @MolecularCell Highlight: SF3B1 oncogenic mutations reduce RNAPII gene-body elongation rate. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Fresh off the press! The protein phosphatase EYA4 promotes homologous recombination through dephosphorylation of Y315 on RAD51. Hardest research paper since my postdoc years! Thx team! @bdelapenavalos @RTropee @DuijfLab @JeanYvesMasson @leunglaboratory academic.oup.com/nar/advance…

The birth of the antiviral gene APOBEC3B in ancient primates is linked to the evolution of a potent counterdefense by herpesviruses, a host-pathogen interaction maintained to the present day. elifesciences.org/articles/8…
