TL;DR

Experimental strategies to identify UID degrons that mediate degradation by the catalytic 20S proteasome particle are described and an integrated workflow-spanning degron mapping to functional validation-provides a generalizable framework for uncovering ubiquitin-independent degrons.

Midnolin-directed protein degradation beyond ubiquitin.

This review compares midnolin-directed degradation with proteolysis-targeting chimeras and molecular glue degraders and identifies the design, delivery, and safety principles that will determine whether it becomes a useful ubiquitin-independent complement to existing degraders.

A HUWE1 regulatory helix gates ASCL1 degradation through its C-terminal phospho-degron in small cell lung cancer.

Lineage-defining transcription factors are key oncogenic drivers but remain difficult to target pharmacologically due to the absence of ligandable pockets. The molecular rules governing substrate recognition by large HECT ubiquitin ligases also remain incompletely understood, limiting efforts to exploit these enzymes f...

Integrative Proteomics and Ubiquitomics Reveal on-Targets and off-Targets of PROTAC dBET1.

This study demonstrates that integrating ubiquitomics provides a superior sensitivity layer for PROTAC safety assessment, capable of uncovering mechanism-based liabilities that escape conventional global proteomic screening.

USP5 acts as a proteolytic switch to control SDE2 function via UBL-directed cleavage

A non-canonical proteolytic function of USP5 is revealed, uncovering a previously unrecognised regulatory axis linking deubiquitinating enzymes to protein maturation, expanding the substrate repertoire for USP5 and providing a framework for identifying protease–substrate relationships in post-translational regulation.
