Our new work lead by Lorenzo Galanti is out in @NatureComms. New function of DDK in regulating HR and DSB resection in budding yeast and human cells. Check it out here nature.com/articles/s4146…

Congratulations to the best poster prize winners Vanessa Borges-Pires, Anita Jopkiewicz, Jessica Spindler, Maximilian Götz, Na Wei, George Galea of the German Society for DNA repair DGDR meeting 2024 in Cologne @MPIAGE @CGA_age @CECAD_ @UniCologne @spanier55 @PfanderLab
Grateful for the opportunity to present our work this week, and happy to see three other former graduate students of the late Stefan Jentsch on this list @PfanderLab @RapeLab @stingele_lab. This one is for you, Stefan!
Where is the spring? Are you ready for the summer? Social DNAing is. Check out our 2024 late spring and summer speakers. The website will be updated soon: cancer.columbia.edu/research/progr…. Thank you for helping us RT.
AlphaFold3 is insane. MutS protein (green) recognizes base mismatches in DNA (gray), after which it slides off to find MutL matchmaker protein (blue), which positions and activates MutH nuclease (pink) to nick a hemimethylated GATC sequence (red) to activate removal and repair of…
Publication alert! 📰 Great job to @hopfnerlab and collaborators on the new publication in @NatureComms! Read more about it here: nature.com/articles/s4146…

Pleasure to host the 2024 meeting of the German Society for DNA Repair @MPIAGE @CECAD_ in Cologne with outstanding international guest speakers and the amazing community of DNA repair researchers in Germany with @spanier55 @PfanderLab
Mechanism of homology search expansion during recombinational DNA break repair in Saccharomyces cerevisiae dlvr.it/TCxvLF
📢Are you eager to join an international community of scientists to tackle novel and exciting research projects in the areas of #biochemistry, #structuralbiology, #cellbiology, #chemicalbiology and #syntheticbiology? Applications for the @IMPRS_LM #PhDprogram are now OPEN!!!
CMG helicase disassembly is essential and driven by two pathways in budding yeast Karim Labib and colleagues show that Pif1-family helicases mediate an ancestral pathway for ‘old’ #replisome disassembly during the subsequent S-phase embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…
Check out our latest paper showing that HLTF removes Cas9 from DNA, explaining phenotypic differences when using the two Cas9 nickase variants. Important for gene editing! Thanks to @giordano_reg & Rosaria and @MartinJinek @taekjip @nussenza nature.com/articles/s4146…
Jim - being a superstar of yeast genetics has to be fantastic. People must ask you for selfies all the time... 😃
Who needs a duckboat?
How does DNA damage cause apoptosis when p53 is mutated? Critical to understand treatment of many tumors. Excited that ‘DNA damage induces p53-independent apoptosis through ribosome stalling’ by Nicolaas Boon and collaborators is out: doi.org/10.1126/scienc…
