A couple of pics from our lab “Unhappy Hours” the past two weeks. Had to furlough some excellent researchers due to funding ‘issues’ not of my making…

We observed how Sirt6 interacts with the nucleosome, by engaging with the DNA, acidic-patch, H3 and H2A C-terminal tail. /3

Just sharing another sad news with the scientific community. The Pioneering molecular biologist Dr. Michael Green, M.D. Ph.D., HHMI and NAS member from Umass Med. School, passed away today with a stroke. Dr. Green revolutionized our understanding of transcription factors. RIP

This feels like posting into the abyss but for any of you that are still following along... our manuscript with @PetersonLab on the mechanism of SWR1C-mediated H2A.Z deposition is now out in Nature Comms. rdcu.be/cZUup

Our smFRET study on H2A.Z deposition is finally out in Nature Communications! It took nearly 10 months but I think the final product was worth the pain. Fantastic collaboration with Joe Loparo and Andrew Moreno at HMS. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

H2A.Z deposition by SWR1C involves multiple ATP-dependent steps
