Information about publications
JBC is putting out a special virtual issue with a focus on protein science in Australasia to honour the Lorne Protein conference and we received word that one of our papers is featured! “CHD4 Is a Peripheral Component of the Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase Complex” is a collaborative effort with Nick Shepherd involving Jason, Ana, […]
Mario’s long journey to publish the carefully methodical work he and others have done on the inter-subunit interaction network within the NuRD complex has finally come to fruition as his paper is now accepted in FEBS J. We’re quite fond of the paper because it makes a statement about the uncertain nature of pulldown experiments […]
Morgan Gadd, ex-PhD student of Jacqui’s, has just published a paper from his postdoc time with Alessio Cuilli – a nice piece of work where they examine one of their bi-functional bromodomain inhibitors and show that it forms a tight ternary complex with their small molecule and the other protein that it brings along with […]
Biswa, Steph and Ana can show off their latest paper now, which has come out in J Mol Biol. The paper describes the NMR structure of a domain that Daniel discovered in the chromatin remodeller CHD1 – from some careful analysis of sequence conservation – lots to be learned from doing that sort of thing […]
Congratulations to Neil, who has just had a paper accepted by Angewandte Chemie that describes his elegant FRET-based binding assays. It is available online here (or at Pubmed here) or if you prefer your science in German, here. Herzliche Gluumlckwuumlnsche, Neil!
We were lucky enough to have two reviews in the most recent issue of Current Opinions in Structural Biology – in the “Sequences and topology” section. Ngaio and Jacqui told the world about Mechanisms of DNA-binding specificity and functional gene regulation by transcription factors, while Joel and Steph recruited the help of Charlie Bond and […]
Dorothy has had a pretty painless first foray into the world of publishing papers with her paper on the RNA-binding properties of the transcription factor YY1 being accepted at Nucleic Acids Research. We were very pleased with the outcome given that we weren’t trumpeting sequence-specific binding with high affinity, but rather low specificity and moderate […]
Well, this one wasn’t *quite* as straightforward as the Protein Science paper I mentioned recently, but in the end the reviewers *did* actually improve the paper I think. You can read about the efforts of Jason (L), Sarah, Ana, Hinnerk, Mario, Mattias and Nick – with able assistance from Daniel in Canberra and Ben Parker […]
Whew! It was quite a roller coaster ride to this paper. After seeing an abstract by John Schwabe’s group in Leicester that covered work very similar to what we’ve been hammering away at for a while, we scrambled to get a paper prepared and submitted. During the process, I contacted a number of journals and […]
Ana’s paper describing the structure of a slightly cryptic domain from CHD4 has come out in JBC. Check out the paper here or check out the structure here. As you can see here, it looks sort of like an HMG-box domain (CHD4 is in red – HMG-box domains are in grey). HMG-box domains bind to […]
