We had the opportunity to write a comment in @cp-trendsbiochem.bsky.social about an exciting study by Arkaitz Carracedo and his team. Their exciting study reveals new functions of polyamines, specifically how they can shield phosphorylation sites from kinases.

Polyamine-dependent metabolic shielding regulates alternative splicing - Nature
Polyamines prevent the action of kinases on acidic phosphorylatable motifs in spliceosomal proteins, thus providing a mechanism for metabolite-mediated regulation of alternative splicing in cells.
