Researchers have mapped 117 kinases capable of phosphorylating the RNA polymerase II tail, revealing modifications at previously disregarded positions beyond amino acids two and five. This discovery expands our understanding of gene transcription control. ow.ly/crFR50Xo1en

We analyzed cryo-ET dataset EMPIAR-11830 (@AbhayKot) and achieved in situ nucleosome reconstruction at 6.7 Å resolution, revealing clear DNA and histone density. Many more cryo-ET findings from @LabHalic are on the way. #CryoET #TEAMTOMO.

A preprint from the lab led by graduate student Dana R Kennedy. doi.org/10.1101/2024.10.25.6… Over 20 years ago, the Eissenberg lab showed that phosphorylation of HP1 is important for its silencing function. Why? Key observations from our study in fission yeast:
