Differential N-end rule degradation of RIN4/NOI fragments generated by the AvrRpt2 effector protease

The paper analyzes RIN4/NOI fragments cleaved by AvrRpt2, revealing that the N-end rule pathway degrades NOI-domain fragments but not RIN4.

Switching toxic protein function in life cells

This paper demonstrates a temperature-controlled switchable cytotoxic protein in plants to conditionally arrest cell growth and control organ development.

Life and death of proteins after protease cleavage: protein degradation by the N-end rule pathway

This paper reviews recent findings on the N-end rule pathway, its defensive functions in plants, and proteomics techniques for identifying its substrates.

Ubiquitylation activates a peptidase that promotes cleavage and destabilization of its activating E3 ligases and diverse growth regulatory proteins to limit cell proliferation in Arabidopsis

The paper identifies DA1 as a ubiquitin-activated peptidase in Arabidopsis that cleaves and destabilizes E3 ligases and growth regulatory proteins to limit cell proliferation during organ development.

Real-time detection of PRT1-mediated ubiquitination via fluorescently labeled substrate probes

This study uses fluorescent probes to real-time detect PRT1-mediated ubiquitination, confirming PRT1 as an E3 ligase and revealing its substrate specificity.
