🎉 Excited for the next talk from @LechtenbergLab about our favorite non-canonical E3 ligase, HOIL-1! Join us on May 8, 2024, 11:00 am (UK time). Don't miss out! Details in the description. #Research #seminarseries #Ubiquitin
Non-canonical ubiquitylation mini-series Monday 8th May 2024, 11 am (UK Time) ​***Online Only Seminar (via TEAMS)*** Meeting details: Meeting ID: 326 741 698 196 Passcode: Eq28jy Calendar Appointment available at: https://www.ppu.mrc.ac.uk/lectures/bernhard-lechtenberg Teaser: In his presentation, Bernhard will first outline his lab’s recent work on the structure and function of the RBR E3 ubiquitin ligase HOIL-1 and how it helped to define the unifying principles of RBR regulation and catalysis. In the second part, he will present unpublished work on the substrate specificity of HOIL-1 and its ability to ubiquitinate non-canonical substrates such as serine and threonine residues and non-proteinaceous substrates such as sugars.
