Si vous avez des adolescentes qui s'intéressent à l'informatique, je signale qu'il reste des places pour les stages #GirlsCanCode en août et septembre.
C'est gratuit et vraiment top. Mes aînées les ont fait en 2018 et 2022, là je viens d'inscrire fille n°3 et elle est ravie.

Ever wondered what the lonely histone H3C110 does? We found that it’s lost in many fungi. Adding it back boosts histone H3 copper reductase activity, rescues iron defects and modulates lifespan, suggesting an evolutionary tradeoff between these effects.

Take a look at our new collaboration project with the Phil Cole lab, we demonstrate how SIRT6 can recognize and remove a variety of different Histone acylations!

Lucas Farnung @lucas.farnunglab.com · Mar 28

🚨New paper🚨Our new study with the lab of Phil Cole uncovers how SIRT6 dynamically adapts structurally and enzymatically to target diverse histone acylations (e.g., H3K27ac) within nucleosomes. @jonmarkert.bsky.social

2024 - the year when we showed that chromatin structure is responsive to ROS regulation because of redox sensitive histone variants - more #redoxepigenetics in 2025 folks - thanks 2024 looking forward to an awesome 2025 www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Histone H3.1 is a chromatin-embedded redox sensor triggered by tumor cells developing adaptive phenotypic plasticity and multidrug resistance

Palma et al. report that H3.1Cys96 oxidation is a functional posttranslational modification involved in the regulation of gene expression. In breast cancer, H3.1Cys96 oxidation promotes resistance to first-line chemotherapeutic drugs and stimulates metastasis. They also show that suppressing H3.1Cys96 oxidation inhibits metastasis while resensitizing cancer cells to chemotherapy.
