Very happy to share our collaborative project on FAM118 proteins - noncanonical sirtuins that form filaments and process NAD in human and other vertebrate cells.
Filament formation and NAD processing by noncanonical human FAM118 sirtuins
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology - Baretić and Missoury et al. identify vertebrate proteins FAM118B and FAM118A as sirtuins similar to bacterial antiphage enzymes and show that...

New online: Cryo-EM structures reveal the molecular mechanism of SUMO E1–E2 thioester transfer
Cryo-EM structures reveal the molecular mechanism of SUMO E1–E2 thioester transfer
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Published online: 25 September 2025; doi:10.1038/s41594-025-01681-8This study reveals how human small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) E1 recruits its E2 partner UBC9 and transfers SUMO1 through large structural changes, uncovering key mechanisms that ensure specificity and fidelity in SUMOylation, an essential protein modification pathway.

Our new review is out in Trends in Cancer. We had fund writing this :) We discuss the roles of retrotransposons in immune modulation in normal and malignant hematopoiesis. www.cell.com/trends/cance...
Reawakening retrotransposons: immune modulation in normal and malignant hematopoiesis
Retrotransposons are mobile repetitive elements that constitute around 43% of the human genome. Normally silenced through epigenetic mechanisms, retrotransposons can become reactivated in response to ...

Activity of most genes is controlled by multiple enhancers, but is there activation coordinated? We leveraged Nanopore to identify a specific set of elements that are simultaneously accessible on the same DNA molecules and are coordinated in their activation www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @embl.org

Targeting SUMOylation triggers interferon-ß-dependent activation of patient and allogenic Natural Killer cells in preclinical models of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Abstract. Natural Killer (NK) cells can play a significant role in the anti-tumoral immune response. In patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), NK cells are however often found in low numbers and ...

Learn more about SUMOylation at EMBO Workshop "SUMOylation: From discovery to translation" in La Grande Motte, France, 22–25 September 2025 Early Bird Registration/Abstract Submission by 1 May Late Bird Registration by 1 June meetings.embo.org/event/25-sum... #EMBOsumoylation #EMBOevents 🧪
SUMOylation: From discovery to translation
Sumoylation is an essential post-translational modification that regulates thousands of target proteins in a dynamic manner. Small ubiquitin-like modifiers (SUMOs) can be attached to target proteins …

New preprint from the Lab at @cabimer.bsky.social. We present PLAMseq, using TurboID to do like ChIPseq and proximity proteomics in the same protocol with extra powers like mapping protein interactions in the genome. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
PLAMseq enables the proteo-genomic characterization of chromatin-associated proteins and protein interactions in a single experimental workflow.
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and Co-Immunoprecipitation (CoIP) assays are the most common approaches to characterize the genomic localization and protein interactors, respectively, for a prote...

🚀 Excited to share our latest article in #singlecell proteomics published in Cell! We've developed SC-pSILAC to simultaneously measure protein turnover and abundance in single cells, unlocking the first large-scale, 2D proteomic insights at single-cell resolution! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
Global analysis of protein turnover dynamics in single cells
The SC-pSILAC method enables single-cell measurement of both protein abundance and turnover, providing notable advances in the depth and versatility of proteomic technologies.

SUMO4 promotes SUMO deconjugation required for DNA double-strand-break repair
Garvin et al. find that the poorly explored SUMO isoform, SUMO4, enhances the deSUMOylation activity of the SUMO protease SENP1. Consequently, SUMO4 acts to restrain excessive cellular SUMOylation. In...

Today, more than 10,000 people across the United States and beyond Stood Up for Science. I feel deeply humbled, inspired, and energized—our work is far from over, but witnessing so many people unite to champion science and the hope it brings is truly incredible.
Will our leaders be able to react and ensure that France once again becomes the land of enlightenment? That would mean 3% of GDP for research, not for guns and pain

My favorite thing about the @standupforscience.bsky.social map is that the French people obviously maintain their solidarity and know the history of our joint venture in revolution. Those in power in the U.S. would have us forget this, but I ’ll be Santa Fe tomorrow, how’s about you?
