Congratulations Weaam and team!

The human GID complex engages two independent modules for substrate recruitment | EMBO reports embopress.org/doi/full/10.15…

@PeterLab finds that the hGID E3 ligase forms a tetrameric complex with two distinct substrate-recruitment modules: WDR26-RanBP9 and GID4-ARMC8a. The shorter isoform, ARMC8b, stably assembles into the complex but cannot recruit GID4. @Weaam_i More: biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

“EMBO Journal processed our manuscript fast, yet with critical & constructive feedback. They also showed a lot of flexibility, which was tremendously helpful during the pandemic.” Weaam I. Mohamed ETH Zurich FMI science #WomenInSTEM #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience Women in Science Day

It was such a great experience to be part of this amazing #sola team! Hopp Peter runners!

Check out our preprint on #CRL4 #paralogs! The unstructured N-terminus of #Cul4B, which we as #Biochemists/#structuralbiologists have long ignored, is regulating the CRL4 function, and preferentially recruits a subset of DCAFs! #ubiquitin #phosphorylation #cytoskeleton #cellcycle

I've never felt my heart so shattered as I do now, witnessing this.

If you are a tenured professor in the life/neuro sciences who values open exchange of ideas in academia, please sign our new petition telling HHMI and eLife not to censure Michael Eisen for tweeting about the Middle East. eLife - the journal and @HHMINews docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

I have been informed that I am being replaced as the Editor in Chief of eLife - the journal for retweeting a The Onion piece that calls out indifference to the lives of Palestinian civilians.

Today was an interesting day in Washington DC… 🤯🤯🤯

Upon stress, how do cells downregulate translation of pre-existing, pro-growth mRNAs while allowing translation of new, stress-induced mRNAs? We now show that translation is controlled by a sequence-independent, timing-controlled mechanism. (1/5) doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

I was there. It was disgusting.

The Gaza Ministry of Health released a 649-page document with the name of every identified Palestinian killed in Gaza. The first 14 pages alone are babies under the age of one. This is not self-defense. This is genocide.
