⌛ Having been presented at the UK GSN in 2022, first drafts written in the summers of 2021 and 2022, pre-print published in early 2023, and winning a poster prize at the Biochemical Society DUB conference in June 2023, I am relieved that this project is seeing the light of peer-reviewed day.

✍ It's been a journey... Published today in @cp-molcell.bsky.social (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...) is the culmination of a lot of work that started over 7 years ago with the observation that the RPA complex could enhance the DUB activity of ZUP1 against K63-linked polyubiquitin chains.

Recent work from the Genome Stability Lab was published in Nature Communications over the summer 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41... Using systematic screening, photo-crosslinking, high-resolution NMR, and cellular biochemistry, we uncover a UFM1 signalling module in genome stability 🧬

Happy to announce that the Genome Stability Lab (GSL) @mcrcnews.bsky.social have achieved the SILVER #LEAF level for lab #sustainability Reducing plastic use, using timer switches or "switch it off" stickers, optimising waste routes, and the ULT at -70C have helped to reach our goals #greenlabs
