ICYMI: New Online! Decoding ubiquitin signals inside cells
Decoding ubiquitin signals inside cells
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, Published online: 31 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41580-025-00919-zIn this Tools of the Trade article, Kiss (Schulman lab) discusses the development of UbiREAD, a method that delivers in vitro-ubiquitinated protein reporters into cells to systematically assess how different ubiquitin chain configurations affect protein stability and degradation.
