1/4 Very happy to share the short history about how we discovered a natural #degron of #cereblon @BBRCME. We show how #CRBN specifically recognizes C-terminal cyclic imides as protein damage markers. Shout-out to Chris @NanoTemper & the Schwarzer group! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Pleased to share our collaborative effort to develop anti-virulence agents. We unveiled a series of compounds targeting the transcriptional regulator HilD. Feedback is welcome!

We just released the "protein design toolkit", integrating tools from Damietta, ProteinMPNN and OpenMM. An interactive tutorial is available at the server damietta.de. Recommended usage is described in the paper: doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkae297 and feedback is most welcome!

Sleeves up for infection research: Our postdoc Joe Joiner researches anti-infectives to prevent #Salmonella infection. He’s not only appreciated as a talented researcher, but also as a great teacher by his students! @PAW_Germany #PostDocAppreciationWeek @MPI_Bio

Fun fact: At 1.06 Å, this is the first-ever structure of any histone protein determined at atomic resolution - for what it's worth! 🤣 doi.org/10.1101/2023.02.26.5…

Congrats, truly seminal work! Since our initial discovery of bacterial histones, we too worked on the very same histone protein & now present its crystal structure & DNA-binding properties. Great work by Yimin, Birte & collaborators @HartmannLab @MPI_Bio doi.org/10.1101/2023.02.26.5…

An excellent perspective by authors from @AstraZeneca about fragment-based approaches to identify ligands for E3 ligases. Of especially high relevance for the field of targeted protein degradation (#TPD). @ACSBioMed pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Happy to share the missing link between the action of #IMiDs & #CELMoDs and the natural #CRBN degron @BBRCME: Neo-substrates mimic every single H-bond of cyclic imide #degron recognition, inevitably inheriting sequence-independence of natural #degrons 👇 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

We couldn't agree more - this is a fascinating topic and we are more than happy to provide the structural basis for the recognition of the C-terminal cyclic imide #degron in our new communication @BBRCME: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

4/4 We are more than happy to finally reveal the structural basis 2 years after Chris defended his thesis & finally want to congratulate @drcmwoo, her team & collaborators for their fantastic & very thorough chemical biology work on the same topic @Nature! #PROTACs #Thalidomide
