We probably shouldn’t have favourites amongst projects in the lab, but this one was mine. I’m so pleased we can finally share it:

Our work is now out in Nature Communications:

Excited for this new preprint from my lab where we unexpectedly found a role for methionine synthase reductase in regulating heterochromatin independently of methionine synthesis 👇

Now final version out: Our manuscript connecting histone modifications with metabolism: How H4K16 acylations regulate inter +intranucleosomal interactions and confer resilience to metabolic challenges in vivo. Thanks to the team+ @sandrani.bsky.social

Enjoy 👇👇 www.cell.com/molecular-ce...
H4K16 acylations destabilize chromatin architecture and facilitate transcriptional response during metabolic perturbations
Nitsch et al. show that short-chain acylations of histone H4K16, acetylation (C2), propionylation (C3), and butyrylation (C4) modulate chromatin structure in vitro. These effects can translate in vivo...

Our latest research is online in the @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social! 🧬🎉

🔎 We have developed a novel, single-cell real-time approach to monitor R-loop generated TRCs, and we have shown R-loop-mediated, replisome-controlled transcription repression.
