Really excited to share our new study, where we identified ZNF280A, a novel regulator of homologous recombination during DNA repair, linked to the human 22q11.2 distal deletion syndrome. A special shout out to @ThomasLClarke for leading the project! nature.com/articles/s41556-0…

We’re happy to share our new study out today @NatureCellBio We show that a chromatin factor, ZNF280A, is required for DNA double strand break repair, linking its absence to clinical features in 22q11.2 distal deletion syndrome. @MostoslavskyLab nature.com/articles/s41556-0…

Massive effort by Christina Ferrer @MostoslavskyLab! I am so happy to see this piece of work finally published!
Online now!! Really thrilled to share our latest work identifying a novel driver of metastasis, Gstt1, @NatureCellBio. A huge effort lead by Christina Ferrer and an incredible team of collaborators!! link.springer.com/article/10…

Gstt1, a glutathione conjugase, normally expressed only in the liver, it is specifically upregulated in metastatic cells. Critically, inhibition of Gstt1 does not impact primary tumors, but completely eliminated metastatic growth. Link to pdf rdcu.be/dKtEA

We found Gstt1 to glutathionylate fibronectin, thus changing the extracellular matrix to allow disseminated tumor cells to survive in the new foreign niche. Inhibiting Gstt1 could be a putative new therapeutic approach against metastases.

I am really happy to share that our latest study was published today in Nature Metabolism! We discovered a new way by which cancer cells can adapt to proliferate under glutamine restricted conditions. Amazing work Sam and Tiz!!!! nature.com/articles/s42255-0…
