Postdoc @HarvardMed. CryoEM and anything chromatin or transcription. views are my own

I’m very happy to share our latest work on the ParABS system. We investigated the dynamic interaction between the ATPase ParA and the CTPase ParB mediating chromosome segregation in Myxococcus xanthus. I would like to thank all the people involved.

Our work providing the mechanistic basis for SETD2 function is finally out! We demonstrate SETD2 requires active transcription to facilitate H3K36me3 deposition!
Ever wondered how transcription choreographs histone modifications? Our work reveals the basis of co-transcriptional H3K36me3 by SETD2. We visualize how a histone writer coordinates with the transcription machinery! This is the magnus opus of @MarkertJon tinyurl.com/setd2

Excited that our work on transcription-coupled DNA repair is now published @CellCellPress! We recapitulated TC-NER in Xenopus egg extract and identified STK19 as a core repair factor that couples stalled Pol II to TFIIH. 🧬🐸 ➡️ cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

Our paper on the structure of the complete Rpd3S-nucleosome complex is now out in Nat Comm: rdcu.be/ds6k1. Congrats to @MarkertJon and co-corresponding author @seyvos ! This is the second HDAC-nucleosome structure from Jon this year. Amazing!

Our story on the complete Rpd3S-nucleosome complex is now online on Biorxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… We visualize the S. cerevisiae Rpd3S complex bound to a nucleosome including the "evasive" Ume1 subunit! Congrats, @MarkertJon! Thank you @seyvos for a great collaboration.

So excited to share that my thesis work is out now at @MolecularCell! Karen @AdelmanLab and I show that U1 snRNP increases RNA Pol II elongation rate within AT-rich introns, thereby reducing the likelihood of Pol II termination or arrest. Highlights below! authors.elsevier.com/c/1gobY…
