Structural basis for the ubiquitin chain recognition of the human 26S proteasome
Proteasomal degradation is a fundamental process for all eukaryotic life. A protein destined for degradation is first tagged with a polyubiquitin chain, which is selected by the proteasome. Different ...

ATG8ylation of vacuolar membrane protects plants against cell wall damage - Nature Plants
ATG8ylation of the tonoplast, triggered by cell wall damage, acts as a vital vacuolar quality control mechanism that safeguards vacuolar integrity and ensures cell survival under stress.

How do cells recognise disease- and stress-affected proteins for clearance by ubiquitination? Work @nature shows that such proteins are marked with C-terminal amides, allowing their targeting by SCF/FBXO31 ubiquitin ligase for degradation. shorturl.at/B3rmR
