Prof. Won-Woo Lee

Professor Won-Woo Lee's team in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at SNU College of Medicine have identified the mechanism of trained immunity induced by the uremic toxin indoxyl sulfate, suggesting a new therapeutic target for patients with chronic kidney disease.

Molecular basis of facilitated target search and sequence discrimination of TALE homeodomain transcription factor Meis1

Molecular basis of facilitated target search and sequence discrimination of TALE homeodomain transcription factor Meis1

Prof. Juyong Lee

Our study reveals how human transcription factor Meis1 interacts with DNA using NMR and molecular dynamics simulation. Meis1 binds non-specifically its L1-α1 region to the DNA backbone, then achieves specific binding when it finds its target sequence.
