We are located in @TelAvivUni. We study the neuronal and molecular basis for severe epilepsy and autism.

📢 A novel gene therapy for #Dravet. https://t.co/b4xbqD4drr. Using Canine adenovirus-2 (CAV-2) we delivered the full SCN1A coding sequence into the hippocampus and thalamus of juvenile Dravet mice.

@HaitinLab @TAUMedFaculty @of_sagol @TelAvivUni Thanks ❤️

Sleep and thermoregulation are usually coupled. In our new paper, we find that in a #Dravet syndrome 🐭 this coupling collapses, with sleep failing to induce cooling and warmth failing to promote sleep.

🚨It's finally out!🥂 | A few years after solving the structure of human cis-PT, we now tackle its dynamics in @NatureComms, revealing that a conserved interfacial loop serves as an allosteric hub, communicating with the active site to regulate catalysis. https://t.co/fZRY0UHjVg

@HaitinLab @FEBSJournal @peterslab1 @TAUMedFaculty Congratulations 🎈🎉!! 🍾

[HaitinLab @HaitinLab]

Excited to share our new paper in @FEBSJournal! 🎉
We show how a #MYELOMA-linked GGPPS mutation tweaks hexamerization, substrate binding and product inhibition, revealing an unexpected layer of protein prenylation regulation

How does a cytoplasmic enzyme make a membrane product? 🤔🧬

We found that a hydrophobic residue cluster helps the human cis-prenyltransferase feed its product into the ER membrane!

MD simulations + fluorescence = mechanistic insight 👇

Stop the doom scrolling! A new 🗞️ from my lab, describing one of our flagship projects of many years we are super excited to share:
"Inducible formation of fusion transcripts upregulates haploinsufficient CHD2 gene expression".
