Is there any biomolecule thats not #Ubiquitinated ? 🫣
It was super fun to chair my fav session on 'Ubiquitinating EVERYthing' during the kickstart event of #AusUb2025

⏳Four days to go until #AusUb2025! Check out the video below to hear some conference tips and tricks from our committee chair David Komander (and some potentially controversial interest rankings!?!?).
More interviews to come in the next few days so watch this space 😉

Excited to share our latest work, now out in @lsajournal.org. we show that the E3 ligase HOIL-1 can ubiquitinate many different saccharides and describe a chemoenzymatic platform to generate ubiquitinated sugars as tools for studying non-proteinaceous ubiquitination.
The RBR E3 ligase HOIL-1 ubiquitinates Ser/Thr-residues and various disaccharides in vitro and can be used to generate ubiquitinated sugars as tools to study non-proteinaceous ubiquitination
