The latest Link lab paper is out @BiochemistryACS!: https://t.co/YtwobeGIjF This work, led by Angela Zhu, focuses on the cysimiditides, a new subfamily of #RiPPs. The cysimiditides include a tetracysteine motif that coordinates a zinc ion and a single aspartimide moiety.

"we propose that TRF2 can be “auto-regulated” through the G-quadruplex formed by its own gene sequence."

Xu and Wang examine a possible feedback mechanism for gene regulation that may extend beyond TRF2/telomeres.

Antivirals:

The protein G3BP1 helps to block viral replication, but viruses also have defenses against G3BP1. Dhaka et al @iitroorkee identify new details of this defense and show small molecules that block protein interactions have antiviral efficacy.

[Dr. Krystle J McLaughlin @biophyskrys]

Our lab's latest paper. This is so exciting!! This paper is literally 10 years in the making, and it is bringing me great joy to see it published.
Also the figures in it are 🔥so you should give it a read! https://t.co/wWOcpFuRiQ

Finding RNA features:

Rakheja et al report "TRIPinRNA," an in silico platform that searches for triplexes across the transcriptome, and validate several hits, including a structure previously thought to be unstable.
