Intracellular protein trafficking and secretion of proteins into the extracellular environment are sequential and tightly regulated processes in eukaryotic cells. Conventionally, proteins that are ...

In the world of protein degradation, sometimes a spanner in the works isn’t an inconvenience but the desired result. Paris-based Enodia Therapeutics has launched out of France’s Pasteur Institute and ...

Cells have a remarkable housekeeping system: Proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are labeled with a molecular "tag" and dismantled in the cellular recycling machinery ...

The pathway leading to the telltale sign of ALS, protein aggregation in the cytoplasm of motor neurons, has been revealed. Researchers from the University of California – San Diego (CA, USA) have ...

Ubiquitination is a crucial post-translational modification process where the small protein ubiquitin is attached to target proteins, marking them for degradation or altering their function. This ...
