Let's get this site started. I'm excited to share that our work on transcription-coupled DNA repair is now published! We recapitulated TC-NER in Xenopus egg extract and identified STK19 as a core repair factor that couples lesion-stalled RNA Pol II to TFIIH. 🧬🐸

STK19 positions TFIIH for cell-free transcription-coupled DNA repair
Together with structural analyses, a cell-free system for transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) shows that STK19 is an integral component of the TC-NER complex that couples RNA pol...

🧬 Transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II relies on a web of elongation factors. Our new work shows how IWS1 acts as a modular scaffold to stabilize & stimulate elongation. Fantastic work by Della Syau! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
