hello world! For my first bluesky post, excited to share some of my work from NYU Langone, in a collaboration with the Serganov Lab. We did a deep dive into the mol mechanism of ApaH decapping: www.nature.com/articles/s41... I’m esp partial to the mass spec experiments - take a look!
ApaH decaps Np4N-capped RNAs in two alternative orientations - Nature Chemical Biology
This study shows how Escherichia coli ApaH hydrolyzes enigmatic Np4N alarmones and decaps Np4-capped RNAs, thereby impacting their lifetimes. Key features enable ApaH to bind RNA substrates in two ori...
