Very sad to see the major university in the East Midlands 'suspending' (i.e. planning to close) key courses like Modern Languages and Music and scaling back Nursing. It's a scandal that top universities are just being left to go to the wall after years of underfunding.

How can we study target engagement and selectivity of covalent inhibitors? Which electrophilic probes are best suited to study a certain amino acid?

Our study on "Profiling the proteome-wide selectivity of diverse electrophiles" is published in Nature Chemistry.(1/7)

There is a point during the creation of a manuscript that I stop caring about typos, perfect language and figures. I just want it gone. Definitely not a perfectionist.

We developed a MS and machine learning approach to globally identify protein regulators of metabolism. We found protein LRRC58 controls cellular cysteine catabolism by mediating degradation of CDO1, the rate-limiting enzyme of the catabolic cysteine shunt to taurine. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Peptide-RNA photo-crosslinks with tunable RNA chain map protein-RNA interfaces
Photo-crosslinking mass spectrometry enables the identification of protein-RNA interactions in living cells, pinpointing interaction interfaces at single-amino acid resolution. However, current isolation procedures for peptide-RNA crosslinks eliminate the RNA moiety, prohibiting sequencing of the RNA alongside the crosslinked peptide. Here, we introduce peptide-RNA crosslink isolation for sequencing by mass spectrometry or pepR-MS, a method that enriches peptide-RNA crosslinks with RNA chains of tunable length. Applied to breast cancer cells, pepR-MS identifies over 21,000 unique crosslinks at 4,757 crosslinking sites in 744 proteins. Employing different nucleases, we capture crosslinks with RNA moieties up to six nucleotides, revealing RNA crosslinking preferences at domain and subdomain resolution. Finally, we demonstrate mass spectrometry-based sequential sequencing of both peptide and RNA from the same crosslink, providing a starting point for the analysis of long-chain peptide-RNA crosslinks that map interaction interfaces across the proteome and transcriptome.
