Party like it’s 1799! A new Rosetta Stone discovered: Yi’s paper (detailing how a specific sensor translates electrophile messages to ubiquitin signaling for genome protection) welcomes 2018! —in ACS Central Science
Ube2V2 is a Rosetta Stone bridging redox and ubiquitin codes, coordinating DNA damage responses Synopsis: G-REX and T-REX double tap strategy identifies privileged electrophile responsivity of Ube2V2 to promote genome protection Yi Zhao#, Marcus J. C. Long, Yiran Wang, Sheng Zhang, and Yimon Aye* (#, first author. *, corresponding author) Highlight in Cornell Chronicle We thank (…)

Glow-worms! A new protocol to perform targeted RES delivery in living worms is released
September 2017 – Original Research Communication – “Precision electrophile tagging in C. elegans” Selected as an “ACS Editors’ Choice” article! Electrophile adduction to privileged sensor proteins and the resulting phenotypically-dominant responses are increasingly appreciated to be essential for metazoan health. Functional similarities between the biological electrophiles and electrophilic pharmacophores commonly found in covalent drugs further fortify (…)
