Excited to share our preprint reporting on the discovery of a new ALPK1 variant causing ROSAH syndrome in a family with 7 affected members! We also characterise this variant, showing its constitutive activity in cells #ROSAH #ALPK1 #mrcppu #UoDLifeSciences biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

How #autophagy influences the regulation of MHC-I class receptors and regulates #immune evasion of #cancer? A new role for an autophagy receptor IRGQ in this process with a clinical relevance for the development of liver carcinoma in humans and mice 😊😀 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Happy to share two protocols describing how to study #ALPK1 disease-causing variants using cell-based and cell-free kinase assays! They were used in our recent preprint on #ROSAH syndrome. (doi.org/10.1101/2024.09.13.6…) doi.org/10.21769/BioProtoc.5… doi.org/10.21769/BioProtoc.5… #UoDLifeSciences

Delighted to share our work in @NatureGenet using base editing to map genetic mechanisms of drug resistance. If you're interested in drug discovery then check it out. Access here rdcu.be/dXmlo [rdcu.be]. Congratulations to the team and @MatthewACoelho

Today we report in @NatureGenet the genetic landscape of cancer drug resistance mechanisms from CRISPR base editing screens nature.com/articles/s41588-0…

To restore cellular homeostasis, stress responses should be turned off at the right time and place. A paper @nature shows a ubiquitin-dependent mechanism through which unimported mitochondrial proteins silence the integrated stress response. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Thrilled to have been awarded the Howard Elder Prize for my work on ALPK1😃. This kinase is activated by bacterial ADP-heptose, but mutations that cause a genetic disease and a rare cancer allow it to also be activated by human metabolites! #ALPK1 @mrcppu @UoDLifeSciences

Thrilled to see this research published! ALPK1 is a kinase activated by bacterial ADP-heptose, but disease-causing mutations allow it to also be activated by human metabolites, thereby leading to chronic signalling! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23… #ALPK1 #ROSAH @mrcppu @UoDLifeSciences

Very happy to see my PhD work published 😊
Snelling et al report advances in understanding how activation of ALPK1 by ADP-heptose triggers an immune signalling pathway coordinated by the E3 ligases TRAF6, c-IAP1 and LUBAC doi.org/10.1042/BCJ20220401
