Ubiquitination is a common post translational protein modification that occurs through an isopeptide linkage between the C-terminus of ubiquitin and the ε-amino group of a lysine residue on the target

Elongation of ubiquitin chains, regardless of the linkage, can form polyubiquitin fibrils to initiate the Autophagy pathway. A deficiency of the autophagy causes cytotoxic accumulation of ubiquitin-positive

Knowing the Human genome better has allowed major advancements in Personalised Medicine. Nowadays, we can know (if we want) the likelihood to develop a given disease and/or how we will react to different

While it is likely that all Ubiquitin-Like proteins (UBLs) will be important for drug discovery because of these associations, Ubiquitin has been the most completely validated for this purpose by genetic,

The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) affects the development of drugs for all pathologies (brain exposure to drugs, side effects...). In the early phases of drug development, there is a strong need for stable

Deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) are promising therapeutical targets, especially in oncology (see my previous post dedicated to this topic). Today, I'd like to introduce you to new innovative

Traditional methods to detect and purify poly-ubiquitinated proteins require either anti-ubiquitin antibodies or Ubiquitin Binding Associated domains (UBAs). Most of the current methods display rather

Multicolour fluorochrome reagents have spurred researchers' capacity to analyze cell populations and to isolate cell subsets by flow cytometry. In this post, let's take at look at the advantages of

Protein Gene Product 9.5 (PGP 9.5) is an abundant cytoplasmic neuron and neuroendocrine-cell specific protein. Over the years, this deubiquitinating enzyme (a.k.a. Ubiquitin Carboxy-terminal Hydrolase

As they say, a good picture is worth a thousand words. That's to say that I'll have to keep the introduction short in this post (!) to let you know about this interesting map from Boster Bio summarizing

High quality isolation of lymphocytes is a key step in many in vitro research programs covering immunology, infectious diseases and oncology. To simplify this step, CEDARLANE® have developed an efficient

In the field of anti-ubiquitin antibodies many solutions are available on the market. But LifeSensors, a company specialized in Ubiquitin research field, have developped a monoclonal antibody called VU-1
