Amazing new mechanistic insight bridging dna repair to Epigenetics! @ongnghiem and @LabHalic!

St. Jude scientists identified a direct role for PARP1 in chromatin remodeling, revealing for the first time how the protein partially disassembles nucleosomes to make damaged DNA accessible for repair. The findings could lead to more targeted PARP1 inhibitors and potentially reduce treatment toxicity. bit.ly/4zRmFDb

So excited to work with @JunQiLab on this important study!

New research published in @JExpMed from @DanaFarber’s @JunQiLab and collaborators reveals that AKT inhibitors synergize with EP300 degraders to suppress osteosarcoma growth in vitro and in vivo. These agents positively combine across cancer cells in a manner dependent on control of protein synthesis.

TLDR: a genetically-defined group of osteosarcoma is sensitive to the EP300 PROTAC JQAD1, due to a balance between degradation and resynthesis by the ribosome. Read on for deets...

How “specific” are the inhibitors we use? In @nchembio, Sterling and Holtsmark et al reveal a dual inhibitory role for the clinical agent zavondemstat! Findings with implications for target and patient selection in trials, discussed by Drs Ali Nezhady and McKay-Corkum.
