Introduction: Abnormal intracellular accumulation of Tau aggregates is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other Tauopathies, such as Frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Tau deposits primarily affect neurons, but evidence indicates that glial cells may also be affected and contribute distinctively to disease progression. Cells can respond to toxic insults by orchestrating global changes in posttranslational modifications of their proteome.

Viral proteases play critical roles in the host cell and immune remodeling that allows virus production. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) papain-like protease (PLpro) encoded in the large nonstructural protein 3 (Nsp3) also possesses isopeptidase activity with specificity for ubiquitin and ISG15 conjugates. Here, we interrogated the cellular interactome of the SARS-CoV-2 PLpro catalytic domain to gain insight into the putative substrates and cellular functions affected by the viral deubiquitinase.

Ubiquitination is a dynamic post-translational modification governing protein abundance, function, and localization in eukaryotes. The Ubiquitin protein is conjugated to lysine residues of target proteins, but can also repeatedly be ubiquitinated itself, giving rise to a complex code of ubiquitin chains with different linkage types. To enable studying the cellular dynamics of linkage-specific ubiquitination, light-activatable polyubiquitin chain formation is reported here.

Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are the main cause of breast cancer recurrence and metastasis. While the ubiquitin-proteasome system contributes to the regulation of BCSC stemness, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we identified ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2T (UBE2T) as a pivotal ubiquitin enzyme regulating BCSC stemness through systemic screening assays, including single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and stemness-index analysis.

We report targeted protein degradation through the site-specific recruitment of native ubiquitin ligases to a protein of interest conjugation of E3 ligase ligands. Direct comparison of degradation ability of proteins displaying the corresponding bioconjugation handle at different regions of protein surfaces was explored. We demonstrate the benefit of proximal lysine residues and investigate flexibility in linker length for the design of optimal degraders.
