#LatestStudy by Faseela from @sabarinathan.bsky.social
@dimplenotani.bsky.social's lab shows CTCF/cohesin co-binding during replication triggers DNA damage; in DNA damage response(DDR)-defective tumors this may drive genomic instability.

Does a protein's fate depend on whereโ€”and with whatโ€”it's tagged?

New @pubs.acs.org study from TIFR's Dept of Chem Sci shows that site-specific ubiquitination alters protein stability via structural changes & SUMO1 behaves differently at the same site.
