Researchers learned a function of enzyme MORC2, that helps organise DNA and turn off genes when not needed. Mutations in MORC2 cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a rare condition that weakens muscles. These findings could lead to new treatments. nature.com/articles/s4146… 🧵1/2

🧬New from crystal structures from our lab in EMBO J! We reveal how the FANCM enzyme, an emerging therapeutic target it cancer, has evolved to specifically recognise branched DNA and activate the Fanconi anaemia pathway of DNA repair. doi.org/10.1038/s44318… 🧵👇

Excited to share the 1st preprint from @ShabihShakeel lab @WEHI_research on oncoprotein MORC2 that is now available on bioRxiv! Here’s a thread on our main findings on how  MORC2 phosphorylation influences DNA compaction and its implications in cancer🔬📜 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
