Abstract. The dual interaction of many transcription factors (TFs) with both DNA and RNA is an underexplored issue that could fundamentally reshape our und
Transposable elements (TEs) comprise nearly half of the human genome. This Review discusses transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms that repress TE activity, how TEs escape this suppressio...
In the June 12th issue of Cell, Baluapuri et al. report that loss of the Integrator (INT) complex triggers cellular stress by unleashing aberrant transcription, resulting in production of immunogenic double-stranded RNA. Dissecting early and late consequences of INT depletion, the study exemplifies how transcriptional dysregulation can culminate in profound physiological outcomes.
Much appreciate the spotlight on our (@adelmanlab.bsky.social) paper about INT depletion/dsRNA-induced stress responses by @hanzlikovalab.bsky.social Amazing to see the finding being placed in perspective of the big picture of neurodevelopmental diseases and therapeutic targets 🙏 #RNABiology
The Vlaming lab is expanding! If you are or know a good prospective PhD student, excited about studying transcription, please (suggest them to) apply here: www.uu.nl/en/organisat...
My biased opinion: exciting topic, super nice colleagues, and great research environment in a lovely city.
Are you excited about studying the crucial process of transcription? Join our supportive, young and growing team!
Integrator complex collapse: A mechanistic route to integrated stress response and disease
Our collaborative paper with the Arndt lab is out today: doi.org/10.1093/nar/... (originally bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...). Here we asked the question of how CHD1 localizes to chromatin.

Abstract. The nucleosome remodeler Chd1 is required for the re-establishment of nucleosome positioning in the wake of transcription elongation by RNA Polym

In a recent Cell article, Baluapuri et al. show that loss of the Integrator (INT) complex activates the integrated stress response via double-stranded RNA from incomplete pre-mRNAs, revealing a link to INT-related neurodevelopmental diseases and potential therapeutic targets.

Thrilled to see my work with @adelmanlab.bsky.social on INT/dsRNA highlighted by @willgarland.bsky.social and @heick.bsky.social ! Thanks for beautifully capturing how nuclear RNA guardians prevent cellular chaos. The ripple effects of transcriptional dysregulation are indeed profound! #RNABiology

Thrilled to see my postdoc work at Adelman Lab @hms-bcmp.bsky.social on Integrator(INT) now out @cp-cell.bsky.social. We found that INT deficiency allows immature+unlicensed RNAPII to precociously enter genes. This immature RNAPII can transcribe short genes but terminates prematurely in long genes:
How do cells keep their cilia “clean” and functional? Our new study uncovers a conserved mechanism for retrieving polyubiquitinated proteins from #cilia – a process essential for cellular signaling and health. #cellbiology #ciliopathy #ubiquitin #IFT 🧵👇 1/n
