Congratulations to our tremendous graduating fellow, @N8Krah, on his newest preprint! Nate will be starting his lab here at @UofUHematology @huntsmancancer. We're excited to continue supporting his research!
🧵 the Krah Lab opens this month and our first preprint is live on bioRxiv!
This was a highly collaborative project with the Chaix Lab, @Dorrance_Lab and @RutterLab asking: does the modality of weight loss change how blood and inflammatory cells are made?

Congrats to our amazing postdoc, @luisci22, on being awarded the K99/R00 from the NIGMS!
It is NOA day! 🎉 I feel blessed and excited to receive the K99/R00 from NIH NIGMS! Thanks to everyone who has supported me and continues to support me on this journey. I appreciate you all! 🙏🏾✨🧪@UofUBiochem @RutterLab

We are thrilled to share this new preprint from our awesome grad student, @Tarun579_599! Tarun discovered that mitochondrial membrane proteins have evolved to incorporate threonines in place of highly hydrophobic residues to assist in their transit from the cytosol to mitochondrial membranes.
Excited to share our new preprint on how mitochondrial membrane proteins incorporate threonine to balance targeting through the aqueous cytosol with membrane stability. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

It's a two-fer Tuesday. We are ecstatic to share this preprint from our amazing postdoc @CNFXC. Corey solved a long-standing question in the field of transport biology, identifying SLC16A6 as a melanosomal tyrosine transporter.
Excited to share our new preprint from @RutterLab, identifying a melanosomal tyrosine transporter!

This is a bit of a tale of two stories: we’re deeply intrigued by the biology and we think that this method is incredibly useful. It fills a gap in the field to ask gene-centric regulatory questions. We hope you enjoy the preprint, reach out with feedback!

We are excited to share a new preprint from our amazing postdoc @alexjbott ! Alex designed a new CRISPR screening platform called TRoUT-FISH to identify transcriptional activators and repressors of various genes of interest! Check out his tweetorial below!
Happy to share our new preprint from @RutterLab. To understand how genes are controlled, we developed a method we call TRoUT-FISH, using CRISPR + RNA-FISH. We found that glycolytic gene expression is fine-tuned by lineage specifying transcription factors.

Two for Thursday: We want to highlight another fantastic collaboration, this time with William Oldham's lab at Brown University and our @N8Krah, demonstrating that MCT4 is a druggable target in pulmonary fibrosis. Check it out here: science.org/doi/10.1126/scit… @UofUHematology @huntsmancancer
Congrats to everyone involved!

We want to highlight a new collaborative project, led by @yliu_UofU lab with help from our superstar @UofUHematology Fellow @N8Krah, on the implementation of a novel CRISPR-Cas system to selectively kill cancer cells! #RisingStar #CRISPR
🧬 New paper out in @Nature! We used CRISPR to selectively kill cancer cells based on a single-letter mutation in their RNA. The story I want to highlight: KRAS — one of the most notorious drivers of human cancer. A short thread on what we found 🧵

🚨 New paper alert from the @RutterLab!!! Check out this new technique developed by our very own postdoc @CNFXC 🎉🎉🎉 Congrats to Corey and the whole team! @UofUBiochem @HHMINEWS
I'm excited to present a small method project of mine from @RutterLab! Here we designed a dual-purification system to isolate mitochondrial subpopulations based on their proximity to membranous organelles. All constructs will be available on Addgene soon!

Hello everyone! I am helping to organize a one-day symposium on fluorescent metabolite biosensors and their use in metabolism research. It will be May 12-13 and associated with the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory “Mechanisms of Metabolic Signaling” Symposium. Our field needs to be able to visualize metabolism with spatial and temporal resolution and this symposium will explore what to do and how to do it, with experts in metabolism and biosensor development and use. Please join us! meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.a… -JR
