Tubulin engineering by semi-synthesis reveals that polyglutamylation directs detyrosination

Luc Reymond, Pierre Gönczy, Nora Guidotti, Beat Fierz, Ninad Dilip Agashe, Georgios Hatzopoulos, Timothy Matthias Reichart, Eduard Hubert Theodoor Marius Ebberink, Fabian Zacharias Schneider, Cédric Pourroy, Po-Han Chang

Microtubules, a critical component of the cytoskeleton, carry post-translational modifications (PTMs) that are important for the regulation of key cellular processes. Long-lived microtubules, in neurons particularly, exhibit both detyrosination of a-tubuli ...

Multivalent Peptide Ligands To Probe the Chromocenter Microenvironment in Living Cells

Nora Guidotti, Maxime Nicolas Mivelaz, Beat Fierz, Pablo Rivera Fuentes, Adam Miklos Eördögh

Chromatin is spatially organized into functional states that are defined by both the presence of specific histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) and a defined set of chromatin-associated “reader” proteins. Different models for the underlying mecha ...

SUV39 SET domains mediate crosstalk of heterochromatic histone marks

Nora Guidotti, Beat Fierz, Sinan Kilic

Y The SUV39 class of methyltransferase enzymes deposits histone H3 lysine 9 di- and trimethylation (H3K9me2/3), the hallmark of constitutive heterochromatin. How these enzymes are regulated to mark specific genomic regions as heterochromatic is poorly unde ...

Development of chemical biology tools to reveal the function and organization of the silenced chromatin state

Nora Guidotti

Effector proteins are recruited to chromatin via transient interactions between their reader domains and histone post-translational modification (PTM) patterns. These interactions form signaling pathways that control gene expression or repression and which ...

A Modular Ligation Strategy for Asymmetric Bivalent Nucleosomes Trimethylated at K36 and K27

Nora Guidotti, Beat Fierz, Carolin Christine Lechner, Andreas Linus Bachmann

In nature, individual histones in the same nucleosome can carry identical (symmetric) or different (asymmetric) post-translational modification (PTM) patterns, increasing the combinatorial complexity. Embryonic stem cells exhibit bivalent nucleosomes, some ...

"Doubly Orthogonal" Labeling of Peptides and Proteins

Jérôme Waser, Nora Guidotti, Beat Fierz, Romain Gaëtan Tessier, Raphaël Michel Henri Simonet-Davin

Herein, we report a cysteine bioconjugation methodology for the introduction of hypervalent iodine compounds onto biomolecules. Ethynylbenziodoxolones (EBXs) engage thiols in small organic molecules and cysteine-containing peptides and proteins in a fast a ...
