Excited to share that my first-author publication from my PhD on the interplay of p53 with cofactors on chromatin is now online in Molecular Cell @cp-molcell.bsky.social : www.cell.com/molecular-ce...
Nucleosomes filter cofactor access to p53 - USP7 can bind whereas E6AP-E6 fails to form a complex.
Nucleosomes specify co-factor access to p53
Chakraborty, Sandate, et al. report that chromatin-bound p53 interacts with deubiquitinating enzyme USP7 but not with the E3 ubiquitin ligase E6AP-E6, despite both co-factors being associated with the...

Our cells pack DNA into tiny bundles that hide important parts. Researchers at the FMI and EPFL found this packing affects how the cancer-fighting protein p53 works, revealing new insights into cancer. www.fmi.ch/news-events/...
How DNA packaging controls the “genome’s guardian”
Our cells tightly pack DNA into structures called nucleosomes, which protect DNA but also hide important sites. The key cancer-fighting protein p53 can still access these hidden sites, especially at n...

Congratulations to Dr. Deyasini Chakraborty on defending her PhD thesis this week! 🥳🎓 Her research reveals how nucleosomes—structures of DNA wrapped around proteins—control the access of specific molecules to p53, a protein that helps regulate cell growth and prevent cancer.
