Interesting bioRxiv preprint by the groups of Liron Bar-Peled and A. John Iafrate. They introduce COUPLrs - structurally diverse molecules with 2 electrophilic warheads and an alkyne - to identify proteins that can be linked to other proteins. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.07.16.603666v1

Great talk by Nathanael Gray at #ISCPDD. He presented his group’s work on induced proximity to regulate transcription. Exciting data on recruiting a transcriptional activator (e.g. BRD4 or CDK9) to replace co-repressors on the death regulator BCL6 to induce cell death.

Rewiring cancer drivers to activate apoptosis - Nature

A new class of molecules can recruit downstream transcription factors or endogenous cancer drivers to cell death promoters and activate the expression of these genes.

An affinity-directed phosphatase (AdPhosphatase) system for targeted dephosphorylation of specific phospho-substrates - a useful tool as we start to build PHORC/PHIC induced proximity modulators #inducedproximity #PFEColleague https://bit.ly/3Hl9Kj5
Local Cysteine Capture (Cys-LoC), and Local Cysteine Oxidation (Cys-LOx) methods can define the subcellular cysteinome and inflammation-responsive mitochondrial redoxome #inducedproximity #PFEColleague https://bit.ly/3WAjyew
These analysis should help the field when thinking about how to identify degrading and non-degrading molecular glues in a prospective way. Thank you to co-authors Huan Rui, Jaeki Min, Kate Ashton, and Connie Wang. #TPD #GLUEs #InducedProximity
Crabtree and Gray labs introduce #TCIPs! Demonstrating that chemical induced proximity between transcription factor #BCL6 and #BRD4, activates downstream #BCL6 target gene expression and results in potent apoptosis. Go go marvels of #inducedproximity! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.04.517548v1

#Introduction
I am a molecular biologist in the Protein Degradation group at GSK. I was trained in structural biology in my PhD. Got into chemical biology in my postdoc in Alessio Ciulli's  group in Dundee.
I am interested in targeted protein degradation and E3 ligase biology. Looking forward to read and share some interesting science on Mastodon.
