#SIRT7 is a histone deacetylase with highly specific activity on #chromatin substrates.
We just published mechanism-based #cryoEM structures of #SIRT7 on nucleosomes to understand its activity 👇

I am really excited that #CHEMTUBIO will be funded through an @erc.europa.eu Starting Grant!
This funding will kickstart my lab next year and help us unveil the mechanisms and therapeutic implications of erasers of microtubule modifications.
Stay tuned!
📣 The ERC Starting Grant call results are out!

Find out which early-career researchers will receive funding this year, what they will be investigating, where they will be based... plus lots of other #ERCStG facts & figures for 2025!

If you always wanted to know the kinetics of how the Polycomb enzymes modify chromatin, we are thrilled to share our work!!! 🎉📄🧬🔬

Thank you, @beatfierz.bsky.social for all the guidance as well as the @lcbm-epfl.bsky.social group members for all the support!

Check out our new study of chromatin ubiquitylation. @alexateslenko.bsky.social visualized directly at single molecule scale how vPRC1 ubiquitylates neighboring nucleosomes. These results suggest potential mechanism on how H2Aub domains are established. 👇👇👇
