Our latest preprint is out! We developed an inducible “RapTag” system that uses ENTAC to chemically recruit USP15 to the unstable protein CTLA4. This induced proximity stabilises and slows down the rapid lysosomal turnover of CTLA4. @livuni-ismib.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Targeted recruitment of USP15 enhances CTLA4 surface levels and restricts its degradation.
Induced protein proximity offers powerful new routes to modulate protein fate. While proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) promote degradation through E3 ligase recruitment, the converse principle-...

A great tribute to David Stevens, a terrific cell biologist and missed by so many of his friends and colleagues. As they say 'one of the good guys'. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Finally my first author preprint at Cullen's lab is out! Amazing collaboration with Kevin and @brettcollins.bsky.social where, by using dedicated proximity proteomics, Biochemistry, crystallography and structural prediction, we show new aspects of human Retromer complex acting as hub for RAB GTPases
