FUNCTION OF THE DEUBIQUITINATING ENZYME USP46 IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND ITS REGULATION BY WD40-REPEAT PROTEINS

Function of the Deubiquitinating Enzyme USP46 in the Nervous System and Its Regulation by WD40-Repeat Proteins

Posttranslational modification of proteins by ubiquitin regulates synapse development and synaptic transmission.Much progress has been made investigating the role of ubiquitin ligases at the synapse, however very little is known about the deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) which remove ubiquitin from target proteins.Although there are far fewer DUBs t

DNA Barcoding of Stingless Bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) in Northern Peruvian Forests: A Plea for Integrative Taxonomy

Stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) are among the most important pollinators of tropical forests.Peru is considered a hotspot of biodiversity of Meliponini, but many areas of this country (e.g., Peruvian Amazon) remain unexplored.We aimed to produce a first inventory of stingless bee species dwelling in humid and seasonally dry forests of nort
