  • Makaros et al. Mol. Cell. 2023
    A study by Makaros et al. explores the role of C-terminal degrons in ubiquitin-independent proteasomal degradation. The study suggests that this mechanism may be crucial in coping with aberrant proteins accumulated in response to cellular stress. The conservation of C-degron-mediated degradation from bacteria to humans is also discussed, highlighting its evolutionary significance. Read the article.
  • Lawrence et al. J Cell Biol. 2023
    The Zanic lab uses an array of nucleotides and analogs to demonstrate that CLASP1 dictates microtubule stability in a nucleotide-dependent manner. The authors conclude that CLASPs stabilize an intermediate state of microtubules as they transition from growth to shrinkage. Read the article.
