Global change in protein turnover (protein degradome) constitutes a central part of cellular responses to intrin- sic or extrinsic stimuli. However, profiling protein degradome remains technically challenging. Recen...
The intracellular levels of the p53 tumor suppressor protein are regulated through various pathways and involve numerous regulatory components. A recent study published in CellResearch identifies a proteasomeindepende...
p53 protein turnover through the ubiquitination pathway is a vital mechanism in the regulation of its transcriptional activity; however, little is known about p53 turnover through proteasome-independent pathway(s). ...
Oncogenic mutations in RAS genes are very common in human cancer, resulting in cells with well-characterized selective advantages, but also less well-understood vulnerabilities. We have carried out a large-scale loss-...
To deal with the constant challenge of protein misfolding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), eukaryotic cells have evolved an ER protein quality control (ERQC) mechanism that is integrated with an adaptive stress ...
