#degron

2025-01-07

My technical wish for 2025 is that experiments done over the years in slow-growing gene #deletion strains will be repeated under rapid depletion of the corresponding proteins (#degron).

Especially in the field of #mRNA degradation, it is an illusion that the results obtained in cells growing at different rates are not strongly influenced by the different metabolic levels of the studied cells.

EMBO Journal 4/23 cover features a cartoon depiction of yeast Derlin Dfm1 as a parcel service van, delivering an "Orm2"-labelled package to a household postal box that form part of a Golgi vesicle stack.

Protein complex assembly #qualitycontrol in action:
#cryoEM structures by Nico Thomä at FMI and colleagues show how #CRL4-#DCAF12 #ubiquitin E3 #ligase engages a C-terminal di-Glu #degron in CCT5 recognizable only when this subunit is not incorporated into the #TRiC/#CCT #chaperone complex
