Great to see this bioRxiv uncovering how factors found in the tumor microenvironment change the T cell surface #proteome. Awesome work led by Jamie Byrnes in collaboration with Marson Lab and Alan Ashworth, along with others! #UCSF biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


Interested in MHC-peptide complexes or #senescence? In our recent work, Nick Rettko developed antibodies and scFab CAR constructs to p16 MHC-peptide complexes, which could provide a new way to identify and target senescent cells. More MHC work to come! pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

I'm excited to share our new cell surface N-terminomics technology to shed light on extracellular proteolysis ACS Central Science (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…)! Using #glycotime, @k_r_schaefer developed a glycan-tethered peptide ligase to capture proteolytic sites on living cells.

Great collaboration from Nick Rettko and Lauren Stopfer, PhD from Forest White's lab where we show MEKi can increase presentation of pMHC's derived from tumor-associated antigens, which can be targeted with BiTEs for enhanced cytotoxicity in melanoma! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…




Excited to the see the diversity of and emerging successes for extracellular protein degradation (eTPD) to pair with the established successes of intracellular protein degradation (iTPD). Kaan Kumru and I are thrilled to share this review! ...no protein is safe!

Congratulations to Matt McHenry & the entire team, including collaborators Jim Wells Gygi Lab John R. Engen Thomas Wales, on the discovery of a covalent inhibitor of BAX, a blueprint for developing drugs to protect cells from unwanted cell death. nature.com/articles/s4158…
