How can histone acetyl-transferase acetylate a specific histone tail residue ? Using cryo-EM, we captured the MSL complex in a stable post-catalytic state, visualising the acetyl group on H4K16, a central mark for gene regulation authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

Happy to be part of this and to see it out in its final form! 🎉 Don't miss the paper on a fascinating and unexpected biological mechanism!! 👀🔎

Retron biology keeps surprising us. Type VI does things VERY differently! 🧬 Check the paper to see how it works👇 Fun working with the @seth-shipman.bsky.social lab on this story!

Gladstone scientists uncovered a counterintuitive class of bacterial defense systems, known as type VI retrons, that can be adapted to engineer more efficient gene editing tools. @cp-molcell.bsky.social @ucsanfrancisco.bsky.social @seth-shipman.bsky.social
