Fascinated by molecular switches that transition cell states and coordinate transcription. Was a privilege to preview the Singer lab's latest in Molecular Cell, describing how the multitasker BRD4 transitions from a chromatin remodeler to a transcription activator. doi.org/10.1016/j.mo...

I’m very happy to share Zhong Han’s beautiful work on the biochemical function of Senataxin, encoded by a gene that is mutated in rare and early-disabling neurodegenerative diseases. Turns out it rescues backtracked RNA polymerase II during early transcription! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
A role for human senataxin in contending with pausing and backtracking during transcript elongation
Senataxin (SETX) regulates RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription and helps maintain genome stability, at least partly by suppressing R-loops. Howev…

Happy to share our pre-print: The PP1 phosphatase complex coordinates pre-mRNA 3'end processing and termination of RNA polymerase II transcription www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
The PP1 phosphatase complex coordinates pre-mRNA 3׳end processing and termination of RNA polymerase II transcription
Phosphorylation plays a central role in coordinating transcription with pre-mRNA maturation, yet the mechanistic understanding of how transcription is regulated by phosphorylation remains limited. The...
