A couple of pics from our lab “Unhappy Hours” the past two weeks. Had to furlough some excellent researchers due to funding ‘issues’ not of my making…

Fantastic cryoEM structure of the SRCAP-nucleosome complex from the Wang and Xu groups. We finally see all the subunits! Yu et al. Cell Discovery (2024) 10:15 Cell Discovery doi.org/10.1038/s41421-023-0…

Only 7 years, but all of these students and postdocs have moved on. One of the satisfying and sad parts of being a PI m.facebook.com/story.php?sto…

We observed how Sirt6 interacts with the nucleosome, by engaging with the DNA, acidic-patch, H3 and H2A C-terminal tail. /3

The dynamic behavior of Sirt6 provides clues for how it can deacetylate both H3K9 and H3K56 /4

I’m excited to share a new manuscript on Sirtuin6-nucleosome structure, a result of a great collaboration between @PetersonLab, Song Tan’s, and @valendraica labs. /1 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Very very sad news.
Just sharing another sad news with the scientific community. The Pioneering molecular biologist Dr. Michael Green, M.D. Ph.D., HHMI and NAS member from Umass Med. School, passed away today with a stroke. Dr. Green revolutionized our understanding of transcription factors. RIP

This feels like posting into the abyss but for any of you that are still following along... our manuscript with @PetersonLab on the mechanism of SWR1C-mediated H2A.Z deposition is now out in Nature Comms. rdcu.be/cZUup

Our smFRET study on H2A.Z deposition is finally out in Nature Communications! It took nearly 10 months but I think the final product was worth the pain. Fantastic collaboration with Joe Loparo and Andrew Moreno at HMS. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
