Recent Discoveries About the Ubiquitin

System and the N-End Rule Pathway

Over the last two decades, it became clear that control of cellular functions through ubiquitin

the laboratory that greatly expanded the functional scope of the N-end rule pathway, a distinct
subset of the ubiquitin system.
