So excited to share our latest work with Sarat Chandarlapaty, @antoniomarraMD, Andrea Gazzo @MSKCancerCenter out today in @NatureGenet! We uncover the function and mechanism of APOBEC3-driven therapy resistance in breast cancer. 🧵 1/

🚨 APOBEC3B (A3B) is a major source of🧬mutation in cancer
The active site is like Teflon (not much binds) BUT @Ozlem__Dmr discovered a druggable allosteric site 👀
Experiments by @DanHarki @_ChemKat @HarrisLabUTHSA 💪

What a great way to start the day. This superb work from the Pillai lab, driven by Prajwal Boddu and a little help from us @bdelapenavalos is finally in print @MolecularCell Highlight: SF3B1 oncogenic mutations reduce RNAPII gene-body elongation rate. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

📣 Hot off the press! @NAR_Open
Delighted to share our latest work!
Thanks to all collaborators and contributors.
Fresh off the press! The protein phosphatase EYA4 promotes homologous recombination through dephosphorylation of Y315 on RAD51. Hardest research paper since my postdoc years! Thx team! @bdelapenavalos @RTropee @DuijfLab @JeanYvesMasson @leunglaboratory academic.oup.com/nar/advance…

Excited to share that our paper was officially published in Molecular Cancer!👇

A big thanks to @dray_lab and fantastic collaborators @RTropee and @DuijfLab.

The birth of the antiviral gene APOBEC3B in ancient primates is linked to the evolution of a potent counterdefense by herpesviruses, a host-pathogen interaction maintained to the present day. elifesciences.org/articles/8…

My 1st first-author manuscript is out in @eLife! This project started back in 2019 with the question “what makes a viral protein evolve a new function?” A thread:

"It is well-written, well-organized, and well-referenced, and will be of interest to readers who study APOBEC3s, herpesviruses, and host-virus arms races more generally."

Something else we don't know @EricTopol:
How long will #Paxlovid remain a viable #SARSCoV2 therapy?
Our new @biorxivpreprint w/ @HarrisLabUMN @fiona_chembot shows transmissible variants already w/ resistance to multiple clinical protease inhibitors

<-Key point on identical spike for these 2 variants but marked growth advantage for BA.5, shows how little we know about non-spike effects

Last month I bought plane tickets home as a self imposed deadline to finish writing my FIRST first author manuscript. Very excited (and relieved) to share that the strategy worked! 😭 Looking forward to a triumphant landing and grandma’s food biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Best first tweet ever!!! I'm beyond honored to join the @HHMINEWS #GilliamFellows community. From Brazil to the Midwest - it's been a journey! 🥶
I'm so excited to learn from this amazing group of people and work together to continue pushing science forward! So proud of us!💚
