It has long been known that cells tag proteins for degradation by labelling them with ubiquitin, a signal described as «the molecular kiss of death.»

Without the acetyl groups tagging proteins, the plant didn't recognize them as foreign and thus didn't mount a cell - killing immune response.

In this study, the researchers found that macrophages from mice lacking Smurf1 were unable to attach the death - tagging protein ubiquitin to intracellular bacteria, resulting in a failure of the autophagy pathway and runaway growth of the bacteria inside the cells.

To test this hypothesis the researchers tagged this protein in tissue with varying forms of fibrosis, and found that these cells proliferated by almost 20-fold under chronic injury and turned into myofibroblasts.

Additionally, thanks to the modular arrangement of vectors included in tagging systems like SapTrap, scientists will be able to generate genome - wide libraries containing fluorescently - tagged proteins at endogenous loci, shedding light on previously unknown protein functions.

The group also found that mNeonGreen works well for GFP's typical applications, from tagging proteins to labelling subcellular compartments, and that the protein is as stable against photodegradation as GFP.

Overexpression of fluorescently tagged proteins can lead to improper protein localization, protein aggregation, or disruption of normal protein function, and ultimately misinterpretation of the protein's cellular role.

Rice University scientists have discovered a method to tag proteins with a controllable enzyme switch.

Ubiquitin ligases are involved in tagging proteins for degradation, they're very important in degradative mechanisms involving the proteasome.
