Acetylhistidine in our blood can prevent kidney disease and is produced by the HisAT (NAT16) enzyme displaying a rare double-GNAT structure. Great efforts by Matti Myllykoski and the rest of the team at @unibergen.bsky.social to get this published. #acetyltransferase www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thanks Sjon! Unfortunately not! I wish I could join, it sounds like a great meeting, but I’ve moved away from plant work for the time being. Hopefully we can catch up soon!

Oxygen sensors structurally defined. The substrate binding of N-terminal cysteine oxidases uncovered by the White lab @drmdwhite.bsky.social in @natcomms.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A huge thank you to my amazing team and collaborators from @sydney.edu.au

These findings will facilitate the discovery of chemical tools to manipulate the N-degron pathway in the context hypoxic disease and crop flood tolerance.

We identified cyclic peptide inhibitors of the mammalian NCO, ADO, through mRNA display, one of which was used as a scaffold to graft substrate moieties, allowing key interactions to be assessed through structural and biochemical approaches.

I’m very excited to share our latest publication characterising the substrate binding interactions of an N-terminal cysteine oxidase (NCO), out now in @natcomms.nature.com!
