New @StirlingLab paper alert! Hot off the press at @NatureComms, we focus on the role of SUMOylation in the formation and clearance of Intranuclear Quality Control (INQ) sites under DNA damage. (1/10) nature.com/articles/s41467-0… #proteostasis #genomeintegrity

Dynamics of DNA damage-induced nuclear inclusions are regulated by SUMOylation of Btn2

Nature Communications - Maintaining a healthy nuclear proteome during DNA damage is important but its regulation is poorly understood. The authors here show that a SUMO modification of the small...

I am very pleased to share my new preprint! We use a new assay to interrogate how human TOP2a resolves catenated DNA. Here is a thread: 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Substrate accessibility regulation of human TopIIa decatenation by cohesin

Human topoisomerase II alpha (TOP2α) is the main mitotic decatenase [1][1]–[3][2] resolving intertwines between sister chromatids that form during DNA replication [4][3]. Here, we employ quadruple-...

The final paper of three from our graduate student, Dr. Anni Zhang (@annizubc) is now out in @Cell_Metabolism. Check out her excellent work showing that Insulin receptors in pancreatic acinar cells are important for KrasG12D-driven cancer initiation. cell.com/cell-metabolism/ful…

Hyperinsulinemia acts via acinar insulin receptors to initiate pancreatic cancer by increasing...

Obesity increases the risk of pancreatic cancer as a consequence of hyperinsulinemia. Here, Zhang et al. reveal that loss of insulin receptors in acinar cells curbs hyperinsulinemia-linked pancreatic...

Our latest preprint is out! In a fun collaboration with @DrAnneCarpenter, we conducted a systematic high-content screen to understand the role of protein mislocalization in diverse human disorders. 1/8 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Pervasive mislocalization of pathogenic coding variants underlying human disorders

Widespread sequencing has yielded thousands of missense variants predicted or confirmed as disease-causing. This creates a new bottleneck: determining the functional impact of each variant – largely...
