Join us at the beach for the first Australian Ubiquitin summit from 20-23 Nov! 🏄‍♀️ Check out the amazing speakers here: www.lorneubiquitin.org

And, why not stay a little longer and join the International Symposium on Autophagy from 16-20 Nov, also in beautiful Lorne ☀️. www.isa11.org

See you there!
Looking forward to seeing everyone in Lorne!! Only three weeks to go!
📢 All ubiquitin aficionados! 📢

We are gearing up for the first Australian Ubiquitin Summit in three weeks 🤩🗓️
Are you ready for talking ubiquitin by the bay?

🗓️ 20-23 Nov
📍Mantra, Lorne, VIC

Excited to share our latest work, now out in @lsajournal.org. we show that the E3 ligase HOIL-1 can ubiquitinate many different saccharides and describe a chemoenzymatic platform to generate ubiquitinated sugars as tools for studying non-proteinaceous ubiquitination.
The RBR E3 ligase HOIL-1 ubiquitinates Ser/Thr-residues and various disaccharides in vitro and can be used to generate ubiquitinated sugars as tools to study non-proteinaceous ubiquitination

Exciting news from the lab out today in Science - the structure of human PINK1 on a TOM-VDAC complex!
@wehi-research.bsky.social
Thrilled to share the structure of dimerised human PINK1 docked to an endogenous translocase array on the mitochondrial surface, composed of two TOM complexes, bridged by a VDAC2 dimer! Published today in Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
