We use structural biology, biochemistry, and (stem) cell biology to understand the roles of RNA-binding proteins in neurodevelopmental #PURA Syndrome and neurodegeneration. We are located at @uniulm.bsky.social and at @helmholtzmunich.bsky.social, Germany.

Had an exciting visit to the German University in Cairo (www.guc.edu.eg). I was impressed by how much this university contributes to mutual understanding between Europe and the Middle East through academic exchange. Much needed these days! Close collaboration with #UUlm and supported by #DAAD.

Today we launched the #PURA Biobank at @www.helmholtz-munich.de for patients with #purasyndrome. Biosamples will support research and development of treatment strategies. Big thanks to PURA Syndrome Foundation USA for your constant support! #Rare #puraperfect www.helmholtz-munich.de/en/pura-biob...

Great collaboration of Simone Heber and Anne Ephrussi with our lab on Staufen-dependent RNA localization!
If you are interested in cellular RNA transport, check out Simone Heber's first corresponding author paper: www.cell.com/cell-reports...
Very cool stuff about motor switching to get the transport direction right. Collaboration between the Ephrussi, Niessing. Hennig, Chao and Heber groups.

A direct interaction between the RNA-binding proteins Staufen and Tm1-I/C in the oskar mRNA transport complex
Gaber et al. identify a direct protein-protein interaction between the oskar mRNA
transport particle components Staufen and Tropomyosin1-I/C. They map the interaction
surface at amino acid resolution ...

Lab work is important but also consumes lots of energy and resources. We are the first lab at @www.helmholtz-munich.de to be awarded with the Gold level LEAF (Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework) certificate of the @ucl.ac.uk for our efforts to become a more sustainable laboratory!

Terrified by the global developments and current politics? We took a break from the world by attending a hip-hop dance class. Lots of excitement, confusion, and happiness. We can highly recommend it as a mental therapy...

Check out our recent work on CDS #m6A mediated RNA decay (CMD)! Decay relies on ribosome pausing at m6A containing codons. Great collab with the Zarnack lab & colleagues. Thank you @uniwuerzburg.bsky.social , @imbmainz.bsky.social and RMap🥳

Hello Bluesky 🤠
Our very first post is about our recent paper in Nucleic Acids Research: so-called PUN motifs are repetitive elements enabling proteins to catalyze #RNA folding and RNA-dependent #condensate formation ( #LLPS). 15% of human proteins contain 3 or more PUN motifs. See bit.ly/4fZ3f54.
