Elucidating the function of phosphoinositides in gene expression

We have mapped the landscape of nuclear phosphoinositides and their effectors, which has helped us to elucidate the roles of phosphoinositides in transcription regulation. [pubmed] [doi]

Identification of the nuclear role of actin and actin-binding proteins

We have characterized the function of several actin-related proteins in the eukaryotic nucleus and determined their roles in the regulation of gene expression. [pubmed] [doi]
