Hangover regulates gene expression by limiting NSL-mediated H4K16 acetylation Abstract. The RNA-binding protein Hangover (Hang) is essential for several stress responses in Drosophila melanogaster. Here, we discover a novel function

🚨Paper Alert🚨
We found a novel transcription factor function of the zinc finger protein “Hangover” in the regulation of Drosophila gene expression🪰🧬:

A thread:

Our structure determination of a dopamine-binding DNA aptamer yielded surprising results. The structure had only 2 Watson-Crick base pairs, but lots of base pairs normally only seen in RNA folds. Check out our crazy DNA structure in the recent bioRxiv preprint, along with other binding details.

Our latest work is out! We combined #NMR with #Crystallography, #MD, and #ProteinMPNN to analyze the conformational dynamics of a de novo enzyme and redesigned it! Great collaboration between
@cathleenzeymer.bsky.social and the @sattler-lab.bsky.social.

Structural heterogeneity and dynamics in the apical stem loop of s2m from SARS-CoV-2 Delta by an integrative NMR spectroscopy and MD simulation approach Abstract. In structured RNAs, helical elements are often capped by apical loops that are integral structural elements, ranging from 3 to >20 nts of size

New publication in @narjournal.bsky.social - Using NMR, SAXS & MD, we characterize the dynamic nonaloop of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta s2m RNA, contributing to future ensemble-functional studies of dynamic RNA motifs.

An RNA Splicing System that Excises Transposons from Animal mRNAs All genomes harbor mobile genetic parasites called transposable elements (TEs). Here we describe a system, which we term SOS splicing, that protects C. elegans and human genes from DNA transposon-medi...

Cool story - SOS splicing to remove transposons in mRNA! Though not by the spliceosome.
