Thrilled to see this paper out!! Huge congrats to the brilliant @ArielKlavaris 🎉so proud of you and all your hard work❤️ #NAA40
📢 Our new paper is out! @KirmizisLab H2A.X is N-terminally acetylated by NAA40–a novel histone mod responsive to UV irradiation. Thanks to all authors @BonaldiTiziana @CosKouf @ChristiDemet @N_Dietis anonymous reviewers & @EpigenChromatin Editorial team. …eneticsandchromatin.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
Thank you so much @Aiims1742 for the amazing discussion and feedback!!!
This preprint was my favorite scholar in training award poster at #AACR25. Brilliant work by @ChristiDemet from Kate Wellen lab @PennCancer A nuclear branched-chain amino acid catabolism pathway controls histone propionylation in #PancreaticCancer biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
.@AACR_CEO Margaret Foti congratulated the 2024-2025 recipients of AACR grants during a special reception yesterday evening at #AACR25.
Very cool work about the role of the branched-chain amino acids in regulating transcription in pancreatic cancer via histone propionylation biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I had the BEST time presenting my work at #AACR25 this week! Incredibly thankful to the organizers @Cosimo_Commisso @BoyiGan @mvh_lab for giving me this amazing opportunity!

📢Nuclear metabolism alert 🎉Thrilled to share our new preprint from the Wellen lab and @mzspectrum lab. We discovered a nuclear BCAA catabolic pathway that regulates histone propionylation! So grateful to all our amazing collaborators! tinyurl.com/Biorxivdemetri…
