Dr. Xuemei Chen's group finds that Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain-containing proteins can function as NAD-RNA decapping enzymes by releasing the NAM moiety from NAD cap, resulting in the regulation of gene expression. #PKUResearch @Xuemei_RNAlab nature.com/articles/s4146…
Excited to share our new review on plastid transcription and its regulation by anterograde signaling during chloroplast biogenesis. Congratulations to Nora Flynn @flynn_nora3920 and @Xuemei_RNAlab. --doi.org/10.1007/978-3-… or plasticgenome.org/wp-content/upl…
Happy to share our new paper -- HOT3/eIF5B1 confers Kozak motif-dependent translational control of photosynthesis-associated nuclear genes for chloroplast biogenesis. Congrats to all authors, @Xuemei_RNAlab @MengChen_Lab nature.com/articles/s4146…
Excited to share Matt's preprint on Golden Braid-based tools! These innovative methods enhance geminivirus vectors for high-level protein expression and provide repair templates for gene targeting in plants. Check it out and let us know your thoughts. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to share our new paper on photobodies -- photobody formation spatially segregates two opposing phytochrome B signaling actions of PIF5 degradation and stabilization. Congrats, @plantbiogirl, @DeFan1131790, @jiangman15, Keunhwa Kim, @JuanDu84406597! nature.com/articles/s4146…
How do cells efficiently respond to stress? Transcriptional stress responses are well-known—and in our latest study, we discover that cells use biomolecular condensation to redirect translation from old to new mRNAs 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am proud to announce that the Methods in Molecular Biology issue on thermomorphogenesis is now available online. This collection includes 23 current protocols for investigating how plants perceive and respond to high ambient temperatures. -- link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…
📢 Thermomorphogenesis community 📢 Tuesday next week we will have Prof. Meng Chen (@MengChen_Lab) presenting his published work (co-lead with Prof. Xuemei Chen, @Xuemei_RNAlab) on miR156 regulation in response to environmental changes. Don't miss out!!
Interested in #noncanonical #ORFs or #upstream #ORFs? How do your favorite genes look in super-resolution #Riboseq data? Check out our JBrowse tracks on #TAIR. Big thanks to TAIR @tair_news for hosting our data.
We are pleased to announce the TAIR JBrowse tracks for our Super-resolution Ribo-seq and newly identified noncanonical ORFs (upstream ORFs, small ORFs etc.). Go check out your favorite genes! For example: jbrowse.arabidopsis.org/index.html?dat… Thanks TAIR @tairnew @PollyHsuLab @JustinWWalley
Amazing last few days at UCLA for the plant epigenetic symposium and lab reunion. It was great to catch up with old friends and make connections with new friends!
Dr. Jiazhi Hu's group finds that DNA replication forks are consistently coupled together in mammalian cells, resulting in chromatin fountain structures. #PKUResearch @ScienceMagazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Another exciting discovery from the School of Life Sciences at Peking University- Dr. Jiazhi Hu's group found that the 3D genome architecture ensures the orderly firing of DNA replication origins DOI: 10.1126/science.adj7606
