The 26S proteasome is essential for proteostasis and constitutes one of the most conserved molecular machineries in eukaryotes. Its homeostasis is maintained by a mechanistically conserved feedback lo...

Proteotoxic stress challenges multiple organelles, but how plants coordinate proteasome capacity with organellar function remains unclear. Langin et al. reveal that endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associat...

Science turned a serendipitous finding about lizard venom into one of the most important drugs of the century, but that type of research is getting harder to do.

Rhinesmith et al. describe an intracellular antimicrobial mechanism called “antibody-directed xenophagy” (ADX). In ADX, the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM21 prevents infection by intercepting antibody-coated viruses/bacteria in the cytosol and orchestrating their destruction via selective autophagy. The authors hypothesize that ADX may be co-opted for targeted protein degradation.

The future position holder will lead an internationally recognized research program that combines excellent basic research with clear perspectives for
