Proteins are key to all processes in our cells and understanding their functions and regulation is of major importance.
"Without the inspiring scientific environment at the Donnelly Center combined with financial support from Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions this study would not have seen the light of day," says Varland. "This work untangles some of the secrets and shows how N-terminal acetylation shape individual protein fate," Thomas Arnesen concludes.
