BRCA1-A and BRISC: Multifunctional Molecular Machines for Ubiquitin Signaling
Biomolecules, 2020 The K63-linkage specific deubiquitinase BRCC36 forms the core of two multi-subunit deubiquitination complexes: BRCA1-A and BRISC. BRCA1-A is recruited to DNA repair foci, edits ubiquitin signals on chromatin, and sequesters BRCA1 away from the site of ...

Targeted mutagenesis of the herpesvirus fusogen central helix captures transition states
Nature Communications, 2023 Herpesviruses remain a burden for animal and human health, including the medically important varicella-zoster virus (VZV). Membrane fusion mediated by conserved core glycoproteins, the fusogen gB and the heterodimer gH-gL, enables herpesvirus cell entry.
