The molecule, ubiquitin, was so named because it is ubiquitous. It’s a tiny protein scientists have harnessed to attack ...

Scientists in Australia say they have identified a previously unseen way the body controls stored sugar.

WEHI researchers have discovered a never-before-seen mechanism our bodies use to regulate sugar, in findings that rewrite the ...

The German Research Foundation (DFG) has now approved a new Collaborative Research Centre in the search for innovative therapies against cancer: Researchers from the Technical University of Munich ...

Scientists believe that in late-onset Alzheimer’s disease, Aβ clearance slows, causing the protein to accumulate in plaques. In the September 22 Nature Communications, researchers led by Michael ...

Scientists have found a new way the body controls stored sugar. A molecule once thought to work only on proteins can also act ...

Researchers have unveiled the crystal structures of UBA6 in complex with either ATP or the ubiquitin-like protein FAT10. These results provide the foundation to study the individual roles of UBA6 ...

Researchers from Harvard Medical School (HMS) have discovered how a protein called midnolin plays a key role in degrading many short-lived nuclear proteins. Their study showed that midnolin acts by ...

In October 2004, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Aaron Ciechanover, Avram Hersko, and Irwin Rose "for the discovery of ubiquitin-mediated protein ...

Researchers at WEHI have discovered that ubiquitin, a protein best known for tagging damaged proteins, can also attach to glycogen and regulate its breakdown. Using a new technique called ...
