We are very excited today to share our work in @Nature defining the mechanism of human RAD52 mediated single-stranded DNA annealing in cooperation with replication protein A (RPA) nature.com/articles/s41586-0…. Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️ (1/8)

Our article "MCM double hexamer loading visualized with human proteins" published in Nature today! ❄️🔬🧬🎉🥳
Great collaboration with John Diffley's lab. Congratulations to Florian Weissmann, Julia Greiwe and all other authors! rdcu.be/d1F7m

Delighted to share that my manuscript of "Mechanism of single-stranded DNA annealing by RAD52-RPA complex" is now in Nature!

Our structural, biochemical and biophysical analyses provide a model by which human RAD52 open-ring cooperates with RPA to facilitate single-stranded DNA annealing repair. Our findings may provide new ways of targeting RAD52 in BRCA2 deficient tumours (7/8)
This work was an incredibly collaborative effort between our group (@LukeGreenhough, @ilirjanabajrami @Tuppi1987), the fantastic facilities at the @TheCrick, and funded by @BBSRC and @ERC_Research
Looking forward to it!
@SCWestLab we're looking forward to your presentation at #DNARepair24 in Malta this October! 🇲🇹 Please RT to let your followers know you'll be speaking & that Early Bird & Talk Submission close on 02 May 2024. Find out more ➡️bit.ly/talksub_DNARepair24
📣@TheCrick has launched The Translation Scholar 🎓 initiative, a new role that combines #AcademicResearch with #Entrepreneurship to bring technologies to market. Congrats to @lola_anaid for being the inaugural holder.🔬💼 We're also hiring! lnkd.in/dV-T2rxm

Our latest paper uses structural biology, biochemistry & biophysics to reveal the two-step catalytic mechanism of the human nucleotide pool sanitiser DNPH1. This will aid the development of novel inhibitors, which may be of use in breast cancer treatment. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
