From Precise Slicing to General SHREDding: The Ubiquitin Ligase Ubr1 Roqs as a Multipurpose Protein Terminator

Abstract:

<p>In the current issue of Molecular Cell, Szoradi et al. (2018) present compelling data demonstrating how the newly identified SHRED pathway in yeast selectively shifts the E3 ligase Ubr1 specificity from N-end rule substrates to misfolded proteins in cells under proteostatic stress.</p>
