Excited to ring in the new year with our most recent publication in JBC, which is the first biochemical characterization of YoaA-chi (an XPD/Rad3 helicase in E. coli). Congrats to Savannah and the team! ๐ŸŽ‰ https://www.jbc.org/article/S0021-9258(22)01229-7/fulltext

Acanthocytes are red blood cells with an unusual spiky morphology likely due to changes in membrane lipid content. On a peripheral blood smear, these cells look a little bit like stars! ๐ŸŒŸ

Weโ€™re looking back at some o this year's resources, starting with this Scientists at Work video exploring why some patients with the sickle cell genotype donโ€™t show symptoms โ€” and how understanding this is informing therapies for sickle cell disease. https://bit.ly/SickleCellSaW

A Genetic Treatment for Sickle Cell Disease

This video presents an intriguing phenomenon: two patients who carry the same genetic variation, which is known to cause sickle cell disease, have very different outcomes.

Mukherjee and Bieker identify transcriptional mechanisms leading to dysregulated gene expression in Nan/+ erythroid cells.
EKLF/Klf1 regulates erythroid transcription by its pioneering activity and selective control of RNA Pol II pause-release https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(22)01722-3?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS2211124722017223%3Fshowall%3Dtrue#.Y6I3owNDQJk.twitter
