#TECPR1 replaces #ATG16 as receptor of the ATG5/ATG12 E3 ligase to conjugate #LC3 to damaged vesicles displaying sphingomyelin on their cytosolic face. New LC3 ligase for #autophagy and first ever receptor for sphingomyelin! Discovered by K.Boyle...

Excited to share our most recent work on the giant ubiquitin ligase #BIRC6 out now in @ScienceMagazine https://t.co/DZUOUgnrbJ!

What a friendly giant! Enormous ubiquitin ligase BIRC6 protects cells by inhibiting cell death enzymes. SMAC blocks BIRC6, driving timely cell death - So excited to share our work! @ScienceMagazine @Elliott_Lab_Ox @larissadi2 @BiochemOxford @LinacreCollege https://t.co/WR9bqei1i0

So excited to share latest work from @Elliott_Lab_Ox! We find BIRC6, an enormous #ubiquitin IAP ligase, directly inhibits caspases and we show how this is blocked by SMAC. https://t.co/xSGWSKk1uh Plus great mass spec collab with @adanpinto @kesslerlabox
