🚨New preprint!🚨 Lack of specific affinity reagents hinders studies of signalling mechanisms. We show that sdAbs provide a robust scaffold for making linkage-specific ubiquitin binders, exemplified by 2A6, a versatile reagent for M1-linked ubiquitin chains. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Cell Stress & Inflammation - CSI - is my group's new name. We are still incredibly interested in ubiquitin, but our new name reflects a broadening scope in the lab, in part based on our recent paper (www.nature.com/articles/s41...). Visit our new website here: www.bioengineering.dtu.dk/csi

This project started with confusion 🤔 www.nature.com/articles/s41... Loss of LUBAC or OTULIN causes severe inflammatory disease. But patients also show clear metabolic defects. Neither LUBAC nor OTULIN had been linked to metabolic regulation. So where do these metabolic manifestations come from?

🧐 What if metabolic defects are not just a consequence of inflammatory disease - but actively contribute to it? Inflammation and metabolism are deeply intertwined, but the molecular links remain unclear. Our new paper in Cell Death & Differentiation uncovers one. 🧵👇 nature.com/articles/s41...

💡 Ciliary homeostasis turns out to depend on an unexpected tug-of-war between UFMylation and ubiquitination. In a recent editorial in Cell Death & Differentiation, @jnpruneda.bsky.social and I highlight new work from Wang et al. 🧵👇

A few months ago, our review “The Molecular Toolbox for Linkage Type-Specific Analysis of Ubiquitin Signaling” 🧬🧰🛠️ came out in ChemBioChem. Time to give it a spotlight! chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Happy to see our review out in ChemBioChem @chemistryeurope.bsky.social in which we describe the tools and strategies for deciphering linkage type-specific #ubiquitin signalling: doi.org/10.1002/cbic.... Thanks to Julian for spearheading this, and to Camilla and Dominik for important contributions.

Yesterday, we had the first breakfast seminar of the year in the Section for Medical Biotechnology. Always great to catch up with colleagues. This time with news from Chiara Francavilla's group about receptor kinases signalling and cell signalling architecture.
