Structure of the E3 ligase CRL2-ZYG11B with substrates reveals the molecular basis for N-degron recognition and ubiquitination

Kavli Affiliate: Yifan Cheng | Authors: Xi Liu, Yang Li, Lennice Castro, Zanlin Yu, Yifan Cheng, Matthew D Daugherty and John D Gross | Summary: ZYG11B is a substrate specificity factor for Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase (CRL2) involved in many biological processes, including Gly/N-degron pathways. Yet how the binding of ZYG11B with CRL2 is coupled to […]

Transgenerational transmission of post-zygotic mutations suggests symmetric contribution of first two blastomeres to human germline

Kavli Affiliate: Flora Vaccarino | Authors: Yeongjun Jang, Livia Tomasini, Taejeong Bae, Anna Szekely, Flora M. Vaccarino and Alexej Abyzov | Summary: Little is known about the origin of germ cells in humans. We previously leveraged post-zygotic mutations to reconstruct zygote-rooted cell lineage ancestry trees in a phenotypically normal woman, termed NC0. Here, by sequencing […]
