New Protein Cleanup Factors Found to Control Bacterial Growth

Monday, October 12, 2015 - 08:30 in Biology & Nature

Biochemists have long known that crucial cell processes depend on a highly regulated cleanup system known as proteolysis, where specialized proteins called proteases degrade damaged or no-longer-needed proteins. These proteases must destroy their specific targets without damaging other proteins, but how this orderly destruction works is unknown in many cases. Now researchers in Peter Chien’s […]
