The first paper from my PhD is out @ScienceAdvances! It's a tale of two #PTMs brought together by Deltex E3. Deltex surprisingly binds #NAD and modifies #ubiquitin tail with #ADPribose. This inactivates Ub, but is readily reversed by deubiquitinases. (1/3) advances.sciencemag.org/cont…

It has been an honour to host @UniofOxford's @chatrin_ch on her Scotland 🏴 tour's 1st stop in Dundee. We had many activities and reunited @CRUK_SI alumni @IPuoti and Helge. Very exciting work on #ubiquitin ADP-ribose from her PhD & postdoc work. Nice late night walk on the sea cliffs with @KevinHaubrich1

We uncovered how UBE2K extends K48-linked #ubiquitin in @nchembio with our @CRUK_BI team (@gazsib), @UoGBioPhys (@maxgabro), and @BrianOSmith1967 using integrated structural biology 🧲#NMR & 💎 #Xray: rdcu.be/cEV5f #openaccess

1/13 COVID-19 had a significant impact on our research activity but our researchers adapted brilliantly and work @CRUK_BI continued to thrive. This #WorldCancerDay #WCD2021 , we're highlighting just some of the successes from the past year:
Creative approach to switch CAR T cells on/off! Achieved through CRBN-degron interaction induced by lenalidomide. Cool system.
Researchers have created new variants of anticancer CAR T cells that can be quickly switched on and off with a clinically approved drug, allowing precise control over the cells’ activities. Read more in @ScienceTM: ($) fcld.ly/baz9bcq

#PTMs are like codes that are branded onto a target protein. The codes are read by dedicated "readers", which can change a protein's cellular fate. Ub itself is a protein, so it can be modified by other small PTMs - and we have a brand new code! (2/3)
Thanks to @maxgabro @Mark_A_Nakasone @ferojahmed @gazsib @DSumpton @BrianOSmith1967, twitterless Lori and Danny for their contributions. I am also grateful to @CRUK_BI for sponsoring and hosting my PhD, it's a great place to do science. @UofGMVLS (3/3)
