How are histones acetylated as they emerge from the ribosome? We show that NAA40 cooperates with the NAC complex to enable co-translational acetylation of H2A/H4, revealing NAC as a coordinator of nascent protein modification. Read more about our collaboration with @kirmizislab.bsky.social #cryoEM

Pleased to have contributed to this exciting work by @beckmannlab.bsky.social on the mechanism of co-translational acetylation of histones!

Spread the news! We are excited to expand our research team, working on cellular senescence, at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, University of Cambridge. jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/52026/ jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/52027/

📢 Our new paper is out! @kirmizislab.bsky.social H2A.X is N-terminally acetylated by NAA40–a novel histone mod responsive to UV irradiation. Thanks to all authors @bonalditiziana.bsky.social @drksquare.bsky.social, anonymous reviewers and @springernature.com #Epigenetics&Chromatin Editorial team.

Acetylhistidine in our blood can prevent kidney disease and is produced by the HisAT (NAT16) enzyme displaying a rare double-GNAT structure. Great efforts by Matti Myllykoski and the rest of the team at @unibergen.bsky.social to get this published. #acetyltransferase www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congrats to our postdoc EvelinaCharidemou for receiving the Cyprus Young Researcher Award in Life Sciences awarded by the Research Innovation Foundation for her exciting work at the crossroad of #epigenetics and #metabolism Wishing her continued success as she progresses her career as independent PI
