Zincore, an atypical coregulator, binds zinc finger transcription factors to control gene expression Zinc finger proteins (ZNFs) are the largest family of transcription factors, yet how they activate gene expression remains unclear. In this study, we identified Zincore, a protein complex consisting o...

In today’s publication in Science we introduce Zincore: a novel protein of QRICH1 and SEPHS1 and functions as a transcriptional coregulator dedicated to zinc finger transcription factors. Here’s how we found it: 🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 1/11

I think there is still much to learn about SRBD1, not only in mitosis but also regarding other potential functions.

Its similarity to Spt6/SUPT6H continues to intrigue me 🤔

👀 Just updated my Google Scholar and... can’t believe one of my papers reached 100 citations! 🚀

💪🏼 It might not seem like much, but as a PhD student, it feels like a big achievement.

❤️ To all fellow PhDs, keep going, stay strong, and celebrate every milestone!🔁
