New work from @xingulab.bsky.social @sshaolab.bsky.social & Elledge lab report structure of Midnolin-proteasome complex & its role in controlling myeloma via ubiquitin-independent degradation. www.cell.com/molecular-ce...
Structural basis for the midnolin-proteasome pathway and its role in suppressing myeloma
Nardone et al. elucidate the mechanism of the midnolin-proteasome pathway, showing how midnolin achieves nuclear substrate selection and how established proteasomal components are repurposed to enable...

A new study in Molecular Cell led by @danafarber.bsky.social’s Xin Gu, PhD, highlights midnolin as a key regulatory component of proteostasis in plasma cells and suggests that restoring or enhancing this pathway could represent a novel therapeutic avenue in myeloma treatment. bit.ly/4l8Zuwu

Check out these insights into (and the importance of) delivering ubiquitin-independent proteasomal substrates for degradation in the nucleus!

Thrilled to share our collaborative work on the structural basis and myeloma disease link of the midnolin-proteasome pathway with Chris Nardone from the Elledge lab, Jingjing Gao from the Shao lab @sshaolab.bsky.social and all the co-authors who put in the hard work! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Structural basis for the midnolin-proteasome pathway and its role in suppressing myeloma
The midnolin-proteasome pathway degrades many nuclear proteins without ubiquitination, but how it operates mechanistically remains unclear. Here, we present structures of the midnolin-proteasome compl...
