New Parkinson’s disease paper:
Chimeric deubiquitinase engineering reveals structural basis for specific inhibition of USP30 and a framework for DUB ligandability - published by @MalteGersch group @maxplanckpress in @Nature Struct. & Mol. Biol.

Excited to share that our work on Parkinson's target USP30 has been published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology! By combining DUB-domains onto USP30, we for the first time achieved crystallization with a small molecule (NK036) without Nanobodies! nature.com/articles/s41594-0…

Kicking off the new year properly: In collaboration between the labs of @giuliosf and @alessiociulli we found that the efflux pump ABCC1/MRP1 constitutively restricts PROTAC sensitivity in cancer cells. Out in @CellChemBiol cell.com/cell-chemical-biolo…

Read how deubiquitinases USP53 and USP54 cleave long polyubiquitin chains and how the former is linked to liver disease in children.

Very excited to share that our manuscript on the "Discovery and mechanism of K63-linkage-directed deubiquitinase activity in USP53" was published today at Nature Chemical Biology @nchembio. Congratulations Kim, Kai, and all authors! nature.com/articles/s41589-0…
For all ubiquitin, deubiquitinase and chemical biology aficionados:
Here's a preprint from the lab introducing 2 new active DUBs in humans & a unique type of DUB activity one would miss with the widely used panels of free ubiquitin chains.

Tomorrow, November 26, we are looking forward to hosting @georg_e_winter from @CeMM_News, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, at @crc1430 @unidue. Join us for his exciting talk on small-molecule degraders!

“We’re very excited to see what people do with this”
AlphaFold3 is open at last go.nature.com/4fHAfio
I had such a great time at this years AEK autumn school on #degraders and bringing them towards clinical applications. Fantastic Talks from both academia and Industry. I learned alot, got to see old friends and made New ones. Im bringing home great memories and a bunch of notes!

In this work, @alessiociulli, @dlzollman, and @UoDCeTPD design and validate a truncated CRBN construct, CRBNmidi, that enables crystallization and biophysical characterization of CRBN-binding ligands and degraders. #TPD #PROTAC

We’re delighted to be partnering with @AlleoLabs to accelerate DUB-focused drug discovery!
This collaboration will combine Alleo’s AI-based platform with our expertise in the DUB space to advance DUB-focused preclinical programmes.

Honored to have presented my and our @Gerschlab research at this great conference! Looking forward to two more days!
Great talk by @NikolasKlink from the @GerschLab at #GDChBioChem2024 #Biochemistry2024. He talked about his research into studying deubiquitinases with inhibitors and PROTACs. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Proud to share our work on this fascinating enzyme and inhibitor class, congrats to everyone involved! This story is definetly worth a read. Cant wait to hear Feedback on our DUB ligandability proposal aswell!
Interested in Ubiquitin, Parkinson’s disease therapy, mitochondria or DUB inhibitors? This preprint may be for you:
We show how the deubiquitinase USP30 can specifically be inhibited & introduce a framework for DUB ligandability.
