We applied the method to study ZNF598, an E3 ligase that detects collided ribosomes. We found that ZNF598 can detect ribosomes beyond the leading one in the queue. It is a limiting factor in ribosome associated quality control.

DNA break induces rapid transcription repression mediated by proteasome-dependent RNAPII removal https://t.co/B7LjtOELiH

[Bin Wu Lab @binwu1]

We used very-fast CRISP to induce single DSB and observed transcription repression in minutes. The repression propagates along chromosome for hundreds of kb. Interestingly, the rapid repression doesn't depend on H2AK119 ubiquitination, but relies on proteasome to remove RNAPolII.

@Evident_LS @CWolberger @LCochella @jiexiao_lab @jmcoller @InoueLabJHMI Special thanks to the lab manager Darcey McDowell and the camp aids Kodi Harris, Fujr Osman and Hannah Wu.

[Bin Wu Lab @binwu1]

We had a great week of Fun with Science Summer Camp. 16 5th and 6th graders from Baltimore area attended this annual event supported by @BiophysicsJHMed and Career for Science and Medicine. 11 Hopkins lab and @Evident_LS organized fun and engaging activities.

[Bin Wu Lab @binwu1]

The students learned microscopes, DNA, crystal, worms, visual illusion, coral, cells, slimes. Thank you, @Evident_LS, Jeremy Nathans, @CWolberger, Bethany Gray, @LCochella , Josh Modell, Bear Huang, @jiexiao_lab , Caren Meyers, @jmcoller, @InoueLabJHMI and your amazing labs.
