Londoner doing his PhD at the @mrcppu working on elucidating LRRK1 regulation and function


Best of luck today to Asad Malik of the Alessi lab, defending his PhD thesis ‘Investigating the function and regulation of LRRK1 protein kinase' @asadm96 #PhDLife #Dundee


















We’ve posted our work on characterising Nsp3 from #SARS-Cov-2 @biorxivpreprint. We find extended Nsp3 is a more active protease compared to PLpro. We engineer nanobodies that bind to and inhibit Nsp3 which will be useful tools to dissect Nsp3 biology.biorxiv.org/content/10.110…



New @biorxivpreprint from @asadm96 & @mrcppu colleagues reinforces the idea that the LRRK enzymes have evolved as major regulators of Rab biology; Interesting: Widely used LRRK2 inhibitors being developed for #Parkinsons do not inhibit LRRK1 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
