Glad to share the second paper from my lab! We found LapB not only works as an adapter, but also regulates LpxC deacetylase activity. Dual function of LapB (YciM) in regulating Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide synthesis | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

A father’s fatty diet causes mitochondria in sperm to produce RNAs that affect the child’s health. Qi Chen & Cai Chen from Qi Chen propose that this results from a trade-off between maintaining mitochondria function and RNA information. go.nature.com/3KwJUdP

I am very happy to share this article that Iva Guberovic and I wrote about fumarate-driven succination. I hope you find this interesting. We are looking forward to hearing your views. Functional implications of fumarate-induced cysteine succination sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
