A large number of cellular processes are regulated by the reversible conjugation of Ubiquitin (UB) proteins to substrates. UB-related research tools (including E1-, E2 and E3 Ligases) are now commercially

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

Acid-Sensing Ion Channels (ASICs) are neuronal voltage-insensitive cationic channels which are activated by extracellular protons. They belong to the ENaC/Deg superfamily of ion channels. Up to now 6

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

Ion channels are proteins with pore-forming abilities. Their selective capabilities to let ions cross the cell membrane involves them in crucial cellular functions (controlling membrance potential, the

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,

Ions channels are pore-forming membrane proteins that control ion transit across the cell membrane to various stimuli. It was shown that deregulation or dysfunction of channels are clearly linked to many

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

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

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
