In collaboration with the @lindorfflarsen.bsky.social group we release our map of degrons in >5,000 human cytosolic proteins with >99% coverage. A machine learning model trained on the data identifies missense variants forming degrons in exposed & disordered regions. Work led by @vvouts.bsky.social.
A complete map of human cytosolic degrons and their relevance for disease
Degrons are short protein segments that target proteins for degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome system and thus ensure timely removal of signaling proteins and clearance of misfolded proteins fro...
