Straight Lab publishes paper in EMBO Reports describing mechanisms that control the assembly of the centromere through the cell cycle
A paper published by Straight Lab members (Rae Brown, Jacob Schwartz) find that Xenopus M18BP1 phosphorylation controls its centromere localization in interphase and metaphase, such that this phosphoregulatory switch restricts CENP-A nucleosome assembly to interphase.

Brandman Lab finds new functions and molecular mechanism for CAT tails in protein quality control
Recent research from the Brandman Lab (Danish Khan, Ananya Vinayak, Cole Sitron, and Onn Brandman) reveals a new force-based mechanism for quality control of stalled ribosomes. CAT tailing is a conserved, non-templated process that extends stalled nascent polypeptide chains while they are still attached to the large ribosomal subunit.
