Nuclear 2′-O-methylation regulates RNA splicing through its binding protein FUBP1 FUBP1 is identified as an Nm-binding protein that regulates Nm-dependent splicing via intronic sites on chromatin-associated RNA.

A crucial discovery in gene regulation! The Chuan He lab has found that the RNA modification (Nm) is actually a vital signal, read by the protein FUBP1, which dictates how your genetic blueprints are cut and pasted inside the cell's nucleus. Read the full genetic plot twist: shorturl.at/r1Hm0

Mapping the diverse topologies of protein-protein interaction fitness landscapes De novo binder discovery is unpredictable and inefficient due to a lack of quantitative understanding of protein-protein interaction (PPI) sequence-function landscapes. Here, we use our PANCS-Binder t...

Our latest work seeks to answer a longstanding question: why is discovering new protein binders seemingly unpredictable – and can we better quantify and understand the de novo binder discover process? 1/12
