Excited to share our new paper on Nature - how Ku accommodates Alu expansion in primates by binding to dsRNA, providing a clue for both the high levels of Ku and its essentiality in human cells. Thank @chaolinzhang @hchung03 @LenaSteckelberg More to come www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Exciting results! Using AID-Degron system, Dr. Yimeng Zhu in the lab found that Ku suppresses RNA-mediated innate immunity to accommodate Alu-expansion in primates - solving the misery of Ku essentiality in human cell and uncover 94r^2 for co evolution www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
