Excited to share a new preprint where we pinpoint multivalent interactions between USP7 and MAGEL2 and show that they are disrupted by pathogenic USP7 variants. Great work by Emilie Korchak in collaboration with Bing Hao at UConn and Klementina Fon Tacer at Texas Tech

Like tiny buttons, cell adhesion proteins such as this Cadherin-8 hold cells together to form tissues.
Next: FIREFLY
Suggestions?
New preprint from the lab is now on Biorxiv and a new structure in pdb!
We show that PML protein has an RNA-binding module, we named PIXEL, which modulates human transcriptome. We determine its structure and sequence-specificity. Such fun project!

Check out this exciting new report on NEDDylation of DNA polymerase eta. Happy our lab could contribute to this work led by @nicholaswashton.bsky.social and colleagues.
I’m so excited for a chance to visit Australia and looking forward to #AusUb2025

A clever way to probe hydrogen bonds using high pH NMR from the Alexandrescu lab at UConn. Happy to have played a small part.
