Really excited to share the first chapter of my PhD as a preprint titled: Targeted degradation of USP7 in solid cancer cells reveals disparate effects of deubiquitinase inhibition vs. acute protein depletion: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... If that sounds interesting to you, small tweetorial below👇

Targeted degradation of USP7 in solid cancer cells reveals disparate effects of deubiquitinase inhibition vs. acute protein depletion

Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) co-op the ubiquitin system for targeted protein degradation, creating opportunities to interrogate cellular functions of proteins through "chemical knockdown"....
