Prevention and partial reversion of the lupus phenotype in ABIN1[D485N] mice by an IRAK4 inhibitor

open access: yesLupus Science and Medicine, 2021
Objective We have reported previously that the IRAK4 inhibitor PF06426779 given to ubiquitin-binding-defective ABIN1[D485N] mice at 6 weeks of age prevents the major facets of lupus that develop 10 weeks later.

Multiple UBX proteins reduce the ubiquitin threshold of the mammalian p97-UFD1-NPL4 unfoldase

open access: yeseLife, 2022
The p97/Cdc48 ATPase and its ubiquitin receptors Ufd1-Npl4 are essential to unfold ubiquitylated proteins in many areas of eukaryotic cell biology.

An Affinity-directed Protein Missile (AdPROM) System for Targeted Destruction of Endogenous Proteins

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2017
We recently reported an Affinity-directed PROtein Missile (AdPROM) system for the targeted proteolysis of endogenous proteins of interest (POI) (Fulcher et al., 2016 and 2017).

HIF1a-dependent mitophagy facilitates cardiomyoblast differentiation

open access: yesCell Stress, 2020
Mitophagy is thought to play a key role in eliminating damaged mitochondria, with diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration exhibiting defects in this process.

Pharmacological rescue of impaired mitophagy in Parkinson’s disease-related LRRK2 G2019S knock-in mice

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a major and progressive neurodegenerative disorder, yet the biological mechanisms involved in its aetiology are poorly understood.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase ZNRF2 is a substrate of mTORC1 and regulates its activation by amino acids

open access: yeseLife, 2016
The mechanistic Target of Rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) senses intracellular amino acid levels through an intricate machinery, which includes the Rag GTPases, Ragulator and vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase).

A genetically-encoded crosslinker screen identifies SERBP1 as a PKCε substrate influencing translation and cell division

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
PKCε is known to exert a role in genome protection by directly phosphorylating and switching the specificity of Aurora B. Here the authors identify SERBP1 as a parallel mitotic PKCε substrate controlling translation and ensuring the integrity of ...

PKCɛ switches Aurora B specificity to exit the abscission checkpoint

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
The Aurora B abscission checkpoint is activated when DNA is retained in the cleavage furrow on completion of anaphase. Here the authors show that PKCɛ directly phosphorylates Aurora B triggering a switch in Aurora B substrate specificity to elicit ...

PPM1H phosphatase counteracts LRRK2 signaling by selectively dephosphorylating Rab proteins

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Mutations that activate LRRK2 protein kinase cause Parkinson’s disease. LRRK2 phosphorylates a subset of Rab GTPases within their Switch-II motif controlling interaction with effectors.
