We are located in @TelAvivUni. We study the neuronal and molecular basis for severe epilepsy and autism.



🚨It's finally out!🥂 | A few years after solving the structure of human cis-PT, we now tackle its dynamics in @NatureComms, revealing that a conserved interfacial loop serves as an allosteric hub, communicating with the active site to regulate catalysis. rdcu.be/eShjl


🚨New preprint alert! Wonder how a cancer-associated mutation in GGPPS impacts hexameric stoichiometry, substrate affinity, and product inhibition? Our results shed light on a novel regulatory mechanism in protein prenylation bit.ly/3ZR7w47 #MultipleMyeloma

How does a cytoplasmic enzyme make a membrane product? 🤔🧬 We found that a hydrophobic residue cluster helps the human cis-prenyltransferase feed its product into the ER membrane! MD simulations + fluorescence = mechanistic insight 👇 🔗doi.org/10.1002/pro.70…








Congratulations to the 2025 #LeonLevyScholars!🎉 Announcing the 2025 #LeonLevyScholars, in partnership with the Leon Levy Foundation. Recipients participate in a multi-year postdoctoral program to advance their careers. Read more about the Scholars: bit.nyas.org/3Yoa6Pf







1/I’m honored to finally share our new paper in @NeuroCellPress ! Some good news during this challenging time here in Israel. We uncovered a new role for NMDA receptors in regulating spontaneous hippocampal network activity! 🤩doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…
