Congratulation!

Very excited to share our latest work by Ellman lab alum Dr. Andrew Streit and second year Julia in collaboration with Matt Simon's lab at Yale! Check out this work on mapping small molecule transcriptome interactions below: 🧬 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Excited to present our newest paper in J. Am. Chem. Soc. by Qian Shao on using a novel covalent molecular glue of 14-3-3 and ER/YAP/TAZ as a 14-3-3 recruiter for targeted protein localization of nuclear neo-substrates into the cytosol as a new induced proximity approach.

Thrilled to share our latest story Nature Cell Biology on a new way to control protein localization without exogenous triggers (e.g., light/rapamycin)—take advantage of endogenous triggers in dividing cells! Free link: rdcu.be/dSlrS Regular link: nature.com/articles/s4155… 1/4

Now out from the MacMillan Group in Nature Chemical Biology: “µMap proximity labeling in living cells reveals stress granule disassembly mechanisms.” Congratulations Roderick, Steve, Sean, and Dave on this fine work. Paper here: bit.ly/3z1Vr2O
