An intrinsically disordered region mediates RNA-binding selectivity and cellular activities of LARP6 - Nature Communications LARP6 is an EMT-associated RNA-binding protein with diverse RNA targets. Here, the authors show that the N-terminal disordered region of LARP6 promotes RNA-binding selectivity by modulating the adjace...

πŸŽ‰Proud to present our latest paper, out now in Nature Communications: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

RNA Binding Proteins (RBPs) are often full of intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), but what these regions do during RNA recognition is often unclear. 1/10

Papers are like buses... You wait for ages, then two come along at once.

Huge congrats to @bornanovak.bsky.social and @jefflotthammer.bsky.social for pushing and driving every aspect of this work, preprinted ~1 year ago to the day (Friday before BPS), now published!

Decoding RNA–protein interactions using high-throughput methods RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) constitute a diverse class of proteins essential for every stage of the gene expression process. Many RBPs are also linked to human diseases and pathologies. Understandi...

Happy to share the first review article from our lab!

We discuss the landscape of available high-throughput approaches for profiling RNA–protein interactions in vitro and in vivo.

We hope it will be useful when designing your next experiment.

Pleased to share the final version of this behemoth of a paper, now finally published. I guess I can retire now?

More functional data, many thousands of words removed, and a few other updates from last year's preprint.

In the nucleus, many intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) form condensates. What IDP sequence features drive this behavior? We developed CondenSeq, a high-throughput approach to measure nuclear condensate formation, and applied it to ~14,000 IDPs to find out!

90% of you probably don’t need to read this.
But maybe some of you are curious & 10% will feel seen. Or a little less alone. This isn’t about seeking sympathy.
It’s about sharing something hard to say out loud;
partly to heal, partly in case someone needs to hear it too. (1/3)
