🚨 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 💪 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

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…

Happy to share our last findings on HCMV evasion of APOBEC3 restriction!🤩 Human cytomegalovirus mediates APOBEC3B relocalization early during infection through a ribonucleotide reductase-independent mechanism | Journal of Virology journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

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…

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 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Quick summary on BA.4/5 variants @bmj_latest bmj.com/content/378/bmj.o196… by @emahase_ w/ @chrischirp @SGriffin_Lab @PeacockFlu <-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/…

Only 2 weeks left to register for the in-person 2022 Deaminet meeting in Palm Springs, California. There are already 25 confirmed exceptional speakers to talk about APOBEC, ADAR, and base editing!  There are still a few talk slots available!! cancerresearch.uci.edu/deami…

Excited to share this preprint of the work led by Dr. Nadine Shaban where we report a cryo-EM structure of EBV ribonucleotide reductase in complex with A3B! This is the first structural explanation for a non-ribonucleotide reducing role for RNRs in biology biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
