  1. We are very happy to share our collaborative work on the discovery of PEX39, the first human #peroxisome biogenesis protein discovered in the last 20 years. #cellbio

    This project was pushed by @[email protected] in the US, Tony Rodrigues from Jorge Azevedo's lab in Portugal and @dwendscheck from our lab. Find the @biorxiv_cellbio preprint at biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20 and more details in Walter's twitter thread at threadreaderapp.com/thread/178

  2. PEX5 transports new proteins from cytosol to #peroxisome, where it is reversibly mono-Ub'ed at Cys11 for return to the #cytosol; longer #ubiquitin chains attached to Cys11 are rapidly removed by the enzyme E2D3, ensuring correct function #PLOSBiology plos.io/4a9gWf4
