our work on the molecular differences between transcription factor isoforms is out now in Molecular Cell! key point: 2/3rds of TF isos differ in important properties like DNA binding & transcriptional activity many are "negative regulators" that are misexpressed in cancer

Very happy to have this one out. Fun collaboration between structural biology labs and a c elegans lab across the The University of Chicago campus.

We're very happy to finally see this one in print NatureStructMolBiol: nature.com/articles/s4159… Congrats to all authors, especially co-first authors Gabriel, Jingxian, and our very own Jayson J. Smith! See here for a UChicago Biological Sciences news highlight: biologicalsciences.uchicago.edu/news/cell-rece…

In a new Science study, researchers describe Zincore, a two-protein complex that binds zinc finger transcription factors and activates the genes essential for development. The discovery reveals a previously unrecognized mechanism of gene activation and introduces a co-regulator
