今年は、４名の基礎工生物工学コースの卒研生が参入しました。高橋さん、中嶋さん、光成さん、宮坂さん、皆と一緒に研究の楽しさを体験してもらえればうれしいですね。よろしくお願いします。

Our review article “The emerging roles of non-canonical ubiquitination in proteostasis and beyond” became open online.

Fumiyo as an editorial board member of the JCB organized and wrote together with Stephanie Kaypee (our postdoc), Fumiaki Ohtake and Yoshino Akizuki (the Ohtake Lab).

The Ohtake lab has expertise in the ubiquitin chains called branched chains. We tried to combine our expertise on linear ubiquitination with theirs in this article.

We believe that we covered the most exciting topics from the ubiquitin biology reserach field.

It was a lot of fun writing this with people with slightly different expertise!

 

池田研からの修論、卒論を終えられた清田さんと上ノ園さんのお祝いランチの会を開きました。

清田さんは九州大学医学部でローテーション、卒業研究を終えた後、大阪大学生命機能で修士の研究を終えられました。

上ノ園さんは大阪大学基礎工学部での卒業研究を終えられました。

お二人、そして指導に関わった皆さん、大変お疲れさまでした。

The Ikeda Lab is moving to the Graduate School of Frontier Biosciences, Osaka University later this year. Here is a link to a new affiliation! (Fumiyo started a cross appointment in April.)

 

Fumiyo wrote  a short review article with Fuminori Tokunaga (Osaka City Univ) describing how defect of linear ubiquitination induced by LUBAC may correlate with human diseases such as autoimmunes and neurodegenerative diseases. We also disucssed potential applications of LUBAC inhibitors.
