It’s hard to believe that #AusUb2025 has already come to an end 😢. Don’t worry though - we’ll still be posting our speaker interviews in the next couple of days.

Here’s what Sonja Lorenz thought of the Australian Ubiquitin Summit. 👇

What a fantastic few days at The *inaugural* Australian Ubiquitin Summit 🤩 #UbiquitinByTheBay

It was fun to contribute behind the scenes in the lead-up, help chair the opening session, host lightning talks, and dive into conversations during the poster session and EMCR panel discussions.

Is there any chain more enigmatic than K27-Ub? 😍

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
#AusUb25 kicked off with an amazing session on ‘Ubiquitinating Things’. Thank you to all speakers: Brenda Schulman, Jonathan Pruneda, Satpal Virdee, Andrii Gorelik, and Yukiko Yoshida!

⏳Three days to go until #AusUb2025! What is Grant Dewson most looking forward to in the upcoming Ubiquitin Summit? 🤔 Perhaps the speakers? Perhaps the free coffee ☕️? Or perhaps the very British prospect of cloudy, sunless days at the beach☁️? Watch the video to find out!

How do cytosol-invading bacteria evade LPS ubiquitylation by the host's defence machinery?

@felixrandow.bsky.social's group determined that Shigella flexneri uses IpaH1.4 to degrade the LPS ligase RNF213, inhibiting the cell's ubiquitylation abilities.
