2024.9.20
At the 3rd Meeting of "Protein Lifetime," PhD students Moutushi Islam and Yuki Hatoyama received the Best Student Poster Award.
2024.8.23
The research findings of doctoral students Yuki Hatoyama and Moutushi Islam have been published in EMBO Reports. In this study, they developed degron technologies that independently degrades two proteins or enhances degradation efficiency. Furthermore, they used the method to create cells that skip DNA replication and transition directly into mitosis. The announcement from National Institute of Genetics can be found here.
2024.7.3
As the lead author, a post-doctoral researcher Dr. Xiaoxuan Zhu has published a review paper in DNA Repair, discussing replication initiation zones in mammalian cells.
2024.4.8
Assistant Prof. Yukosuke Yamaguchi has published a paper in Nature Communications as the first and co-corresponding author. In this paper, the contribution of UHRF1 to DNA methylation was analyzed in detail using the auxin-inducible degron technology. This research was conducted at the Defossez lab in Paris, and Prof. Kanemaki also participated as a collaborator.
2024.4.1
Dr. Kosuke Yamaguchi has joined our lab as an assistant professor.
2024.3.23
Our laboratory has published a new paper on the degron technology in bioRxiv. This is the result of a project led by graduate student Yuki Hatoyama and Moutushi Islam.
2024.2.28
Professor Kanemaki received the 23rd Yamazaki Teiichi Prize. The award ceremony and acceptance lecture took place at GAKUSHIKAIKAN (Japanese Academy of Sciences) on February 28, 2024.

2023.8.21
Our collaborative research findings have been published in Science. In this paper, we found that DONSON as a novel DNA replication factor essential for the formation of the CMG helicase during the replication initiation process. Our research group generated DONSON-degron cells. For more detailed information, please visit here.
2023.8.3
Our collaborative research findings have been published in Nature. We provided degron cells of WAPL, which controls the amount of chromatin-bound cohesin.
2023.6.7
Our PhD student, Yuki Hatoyama, gave an oral presentation at the 3R Workshop (Kyushu University) and received the Student Award. Congratulations!
2023.5.5
A review article on the function of MCMBP has been published in Biochenical Society Transactions. A PhD student, Yuki Hatoyama, wrote this review paper as the first author.
2023.4.28
The results of our joint work with Prof. David Cortez at Vanderbilt University have been published in Science. We revealed the RAD51-dependent reversed fork structure when the replication fork is arrested.
