Modifications and targeting of protein termini Part B

Modifications and Targeting of Protein Termini, Part B, Volume 686 in the Methods in Enzymology serial, highlights new advances in the field with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on a variety of timely topics, including In vitro production of N-degron fused proteins and its application, Identification of N-degrons and N-recognins using peptide pull-downs combined with quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics, Monitoring ADO-dependent proteolysis in cells using fluorescent reporter proteins, Monitoring the interactions between N-degrons and N-recognins of the Arg/N-degron pathway, Characterization and chemical modulation of p62/SQSTM1/Sequestosome-1 as an autophagic N-recognin of the Arg/N-degron pathway.

Other chapters cover Analysis of higher plant N-degron pathway components and substrates via expression in S. cerevisiae, Building libraries to dissect terminal degrons with fluorescent timers, Affinity isolation and biochemical characterization of N-degron ligands using the N-recognin, ClpS, Probing the effects of N-terminal acetylation on a-synuclein structure, aggregation and toxicity, Increasing the coverage of the N-terminome with Lys-N Amino Terminal enrichment (LATE), and more.
