Their findings, published in a Cell Reports paper titled “Palmitoylation and PDE6δ regulate membrane-compartment-specific substrate ubiquitylation and degradation,” have implications for developing ...

Researchers identified and characterized a new cellular compartment in vertebrate cells that might be a precursor of today's eucaryotic nucleus. The study reveals that mammalian cells recognize, ...

The inside of a cell is like a house that has a lot of rooms. Little compartments called organelles are the intracellular versions of organs like the liver or the pancreas in the body. Each organelle ...

Their findings, published in a Cell Reports paper titled "Palmitoylation and PDE6δ regulate membrane-compartment-specific substrate ubiquitylation and degradation," have implications for developing ...

Just like workers need the right environment to efficiently perform their tasks, proteins require placement within specific cellular compartments to function properly. Therefore, understanding where ...

Researchers at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology have uncovered how a unique interaction between two cellular compartments, namely the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria, can act as ...

Proteins, which fulfil most of the functions in our body by interacting with other proteins, face a dilemma – they move around the cell with 40 million potential interaction partners. Finding the ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, a large team of researchers from the United States (U.S.) used single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing combined with high-resolution ...

How can a virus with only five proteins dominate a human cell that contains thousands? This question has long puzzled scientists, faced with the incredible efficiency of pathogens like the rabies ...
