Two autophagy-related (ATG) ubiquitin-like conjugation systems, the ATG12 and ATG8
systems, play important roles in macroautophagy. While multiple duplications and losses of …

Fish otoliths, biominerals composed of calcium carbonate with a small amount of organic
matrix, are involved in the functioning of the inner ear. Starmaker (Stm) from zebrafish …

The adhesion of acidophilic bacteria to mineral surfaces is an important phenomenon in
bioleaching processes. In this study, functionalized colloidal probes covered by bioleaching …

Here we provide the first detailed biochemical study of a noncanonical E1‐like enzyme with
broad specificity for cognate ubiquitin‐like (Ubl) proteins that mediates Ubl protein …

Laccase (benzenediol: oxygen oxidoreductases, EC1. 10.3. 2) is a multi-copper oxidase
capable of oxidizing a variety of phenolic and other aromatic organic compounds. The …

In eukaryotes, the 26S proteasome degrades ubiquitinylated proteins in an ATP-dependent
manner. Archaea mediate a form of post-translational modification of proteins termed …

Elucidating how proteins adapt from halophilic to mesophilic environments will enable a
better understanding of protein evolution and folding. In this study, by directed evolution and …

Deubiquitinases (DUBs) are essential regulators of intracellular processes involving
ubiquitin (Ub) modification. The human DUB ubiquitin-specific protease 1 (hUSP1) interacts …

Revised: 7 August 2017/Accepted: 23 August 2017© European Biophysical Societies'
Association 2017 activity is promoted by low concentrations of NaCl. The results showed …

More than 50 human conditions are characterised by the deposition of aberrantly
aggregated proteins into amyloid fibrils. These diseases range from neurodegenerative …
