Very excited to share our latest publication! We discovered a nuclear metabolic pathway that fuels acetylation of histones from alpha-ketoglutarate, driving chromatin accessibility. @RoswellPark this study was led by Abhisha, now postdoc at UPenn. https://t.co/9IvsZqPAO3
Excellent collaboration with Leah and Peder @cwru Reddy Putluri and Sung Yun Jung @BCMFromtheLabs and Roswell collegues @SmiragliaLab@JacobiJustine Prashant Song Liu Mark Long and Katiya Gurova.
We report that TCA cycle enzymes aconitase 2 (ACO2) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH2) are present in the nucleus bound to the histones, where they catalyze the reductive carboxylation of alpha-ketoglutarate to generate nuclear acetyl CoA for histone acetylation.
A tour de force by Raviprasad Kuthethur and amazing collaborations from Petr Cejka, Shyam Sharan and Krishna Mohan Poluri labs. Thanks a lot to Safa Nasrin, Satheesh Kumar Sengodan, Stefan Braunshier, Carmen Fonseca , Nupur Nagar, Ananya Acharya for putting it all together.
Excited to share our latest study in @Nature! We used a humanized-mouse ES cell model to explore the functional consequences of all possible BRCA2 missense variants. We've clinically classified >6,500 variants and >1,200 reported in ClinVar! @ShyamKSharan@theNCI
