Ad for a postdoc position in centromere biology with colorful chromosomes and centromeres made out of FIMO.

🧪 My lab has an opening for a postdoc position soon! Please share/get in touch!

This was a joint effort between yeast and mammalian experts @thebraunlab.bsky.social @bulutkarslioglu.bsky.social @angela-taddei.bsky.social, D. Włoch-Salamon and co-workers, with great support from additional NuQuest members and @Biomol_MDPI. 4/n

An elevated level of the mRNA exporter Mex67-Mtr2 in nuclear mRNPs impairs nuclear mRNA export In eukaryotes, a crucial step in gene expression is the export of the mRNA out of nucleus. The conserved mRNA exporter Mex67-Mtr2 (NXF1-NXT1 in human) is a key factor in this process. In S. cerevisiae...

We are excited to share the work of Nataliia Stefanyshena who showed that maintenance of an optimal Mex67 level in nuclear mRNPs is required for efficient mRNA export: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
