New publication from our lab! It was really fun writing this review @jcb.org with my postdoc Dr. Chris Mellor and graduate student Elisabeth Larson. We explore how folate deficiency trigger DNA damage that disrupt genome stability.
New review: Mellor, Larson, and @drmengwang.bsky.social discuss the molecular mechanisms of mammalian genomic instability arising from folate deficiency and how this impacts genome biology in health and disease. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Delighted to share our latest work on ABHD11 as a novel deglutarylating enzyme, and its role in T cell metabolism @natchembio.nature.com rdcu.be/ewiYZ. Many congratulations to co-first authors Guine Grice, Eleanor Minogue and @hudsonwilco.bsky.social! Great team effort with Randall Johnson's lab.
Lipoyl deglutarylation by ABHD11 regulates mitochondrial and T cell metabolism
Nature Chemical Biology - Glutarate rewires cell metabolism through conjugation to proteins or fatty acids, but how glutarylation is regulated is unclear. ABHD11 was identified as a...

Happy to share latest work from the lab. Led by talented first author @awmartinelli.bsky.social. Mapping the genetic landscape of iron metabolism uncovers the SETD2 methyltransferase as a modulator of iron flux | Science Advances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Congratulations to all the team.
Mapping the genetic landscape of iron metabolism uncovers the SETD2 methyltransferase as a modulator of iron flux
Genetic screens using endogenous reporters map key modulators of cellular iron, including the transcriptional regulator SETD2.
