#degron — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #degron, aggregated by home.social.

  1. 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.

  3. 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
