DNA, RNA, and everything in between. 🧬 We are starting a new series called nucleic notes. Here you can learn fun facts about nucleic acids. Today is about DNA damage. Did you know that each cell repairs ~10,000 DNA lesions every single day? #NUCLEATECluster #DNA

Thanks Inka @nucleate-cluster.bsky.social for these wonderful photos. Doing science with the 4th graders from @Mönchbergschule Würzburg was such a joyful experience (my first ever science outreach! ). Their curiosity was a nice reminder of what drew me to science..

How can a splicing factor bind to thousands of exons but regulate only a few of them? In our new preprint, we show that SRSF6 resolves this paradox through two distinct binding modes. @lab-nmr.bsky.social & @julianvonehr.bsky.social. Check it out: www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-9...

Thrilled to share that my first postdoctoral paper, as well as my first major computational contribution, is now out in @narjournal.bsky.social and has been recognized as a breakthrough article 😊. Grateful for the support from @zarnack-group.bsky.social and @mfeldbruegge.bsky.social.

I’m thrilled to share a collaborative story from @Mendell_lab and Jan Erzberger labs, led by postdoc extraordinaire Xiaoqiang Zhu. We showed that in addition to their canonical decoding function, tRNAs play a key role in regulating mRNA stability during translation! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Specific tRNAs promote mRNA decay by recruiting the CCR4-NOT complex to translating ribosomes
The CCR4-NOT complex is a major regulator of eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA) stability. Slow decoding during translation promotes association of CCR4-NOT with ribosomes, accelerating mRNA degradation....

I’m excited to share this story. We found that mutating an RNA binding protein’s ability to bind RNA did not remove all biological function, but when combined with a mutation that affects protein interactions, the RBP no longer functioned. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The PUF RNA-binding protein, FBF-2, maintains stem cells without binding to RNA
Like all canonical PUF proteins, C. elegans FBF-2 binds to specific RNAs via tripartite recognition motifs (TRMs). Here we report that an FBF-2 mutant protein that cannot bind to RNA, is nonetheless b...
