Thrilled to be part of this amazing collaboration exploring the conformational space and structural dynamics of heterogeneous RNAs - @TzaiYun @Degenhardt_MFS @YunXingWangLab @jinweizhang. Excited to see our work published in @Nature just in time for the holidays!
Glad to be part of two new @nature papers led by @Degenhardt_MFS
@TzaiYun @YunXingWangLab @IliasSkeparnias, which use AFM images and neural networks to map complex #RNA conformations and dynamics in solution. A Herculean effort! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…. & nature.com/articles/s41586-0….

Thank you @sarakosman @NatureSMB for featuring our two studies on #MALAT1 & #NEAT1 on the Nov cover! Led by @IliasSkeparnias we describe how #lncRNA partially mimic #tRNA structure for their maturation and #mascRNA #menRNA biogenesis. nature.com/nsmb/volumes/31/i…

How to repurpose a #tRNA enzyme into a global stress sensor? Co-led by @CharlesBNader, Swati Gaikwad, Soheila Bahmanjah, w/ Alan Hinnebusch lab, in
@PNASNews, we describe how stress kinase Gcn2 adopts and molds Histidyl-tRNA synthetase as a regulatory hub. bit.ly/3YQbiMk

How many different things can you grab using a small β-barrel? Sugars, #DNA,#RNA,#tRNA? All of the above. Led by Aline Umuhire Juru, Rodolfo Ghirlando @NatureComms, we find a class of OB-folds in Trbp and Arc1p recognize tRNAs by their universal 3’ ends. go.nature.com/4dj7Bmk

Excited to share our latest story revealing an RNA-centric mechanism where menRNA drives its own conformational isomerization and fate. @jinweizhang @NatureSMB Check it out 👇

How does one #tRNA-mimicking mascRNA from #MALAT1 get one CCA tail and is stable, while menRNA from #NEAT1 receives two marking it for decay? We uncover a #riboswitch-like mechanism where menRNA self-destructs by getting seconds.@IliasSkeparnias @NatureSMB go.nature.com/3WcOGmc

Happy to share our new study defining the structural and molecular mechanisms of #MALAT1 RNA maturation. Many thanks to all the co-authors who contributed to this work! Check it out in @NatureSMB 👇

What do long noncoding RNAs actually look like? A hodgepodge of twisted #RNA elements on a string? You’d be right. Happy to share new paper on #MALAT1 @NatureSMB led by @IliasSkeparnias w/@CharlesBNader Dimitrios Anastasakis @MarkusHafner4 @YunXingWangLab go.nature.com/4eLNyP4

📢An elegant dance between replication and histone retention for epigenetic inheritance!🥳Our new work shows that heterochromatin domains are specialized replication zones that preserve parental modified histones to ensure self-templated chromatin assembly bit.ly/4b8wpNA

Delighted for the successful 9th Young Scientists Forum of @HSBMB_official
Great talks from young scientists and invited speakers!
