Excited to share our lab's latest, where we reveal how BRCA1-BARD1 engage with sites of DNA breaks during HR. This was led by @Jordan_R_Becker, collaborating with @mdrwilson & building on previous work with Anja Groth https://t.co/3Q15q8VATH / https://t.co/MNOAmupXnk Thread 1/9

Cool!
Kanemaki lab at NIG published a new version of their auxin-inducible degron system (AID2): https://t.co/faoIuIWBB8 AID2 works really fantastic for rapid and complete depletion of the target protein! Much better than the previous AID. Congrats, Kanemaki-san!

Great work! Congrats!
Just out @Nature. Work from us & @AHollandLab shows recurrent 17q23-amplification in breast cancer renders cells completely reliant on centrosomes for mitosis. Caused by TRIM37 o/exp, PLK4 inhibitors target this defect to induce synthetic lethality! https://t.co/oMAgG3ZGRG

We're recruiting: In the coming months we're looking to recruit a couple of Postdocs to projects related to: (1) DNA repair mechanisms involved in lymphocyte development; (2) CIN mechanisms in cancer & synthetic lethality. Interested with relevant expertise, get in touch. Pls RT

Trump just signed an executive order blocking all new temporary #immigration visas, including #H1B and #J1. This should be of great concern to all US scientists who are no longer able to hire international students and postdocs. #AcademicTwitter

The order will affect technology firms, forestry companies and others who fill some jobs with temporary workers. The White House says the measures are necessary to protect U.S. workers amid job...

(1/3) In this #firstpreprint from the lab, we show BARD1 recognises nucleosomes with mono-ubiquitinated H2A Lys-15: this recruits the BRCA1 complex to DNA damage associated chromatin and initiates homologous recombination:

Protein ubiquitination at sites of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by RNF168 recruits BRCA1 and 53BP1, mediators of the homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) DSB repair...
