Tuning ubiquitin transfer by RING E3 ubiquitin ligases through the linchpin residue
RING family ubiquitin ligases (E3s) employ the RING domain to recruit the E2 thioester ubiquitin (E2∼Ub) intermediate to catalyze the transfer of ubiquitin (Ub) to substrates. A cationic Arg linchpin ...

Very pleased to have been involved with this work, and I think it highlights the power of SAXS when combined with Alphafold predictions. @mvls-srf.bsky.social

It’s too late on a Friday night for me to post sensibly about this work! But I’m super proud of Joanna’s determination to validate Parkin substrates and I love working with her robust and creative science!

As always, great work from the Roe lab
New paper from the group - here we show that aurodox prevents shiga toxin mediated damage in a murine model. Interesting changes to the microbiota too. Amazing work by @rebeccamchugh.bsky.social and the group.
