We wrote a review!

Big thanks and congratulations to Anja Lührmann for great collaboration, and to her students, Manuela and Elias, for their help with the literature and figures, respectively.

It took time and effort, but it is finally online and available to everyone.

Identification and characterization of a ubiquitin E3 RING ligase of the Chlamydia-like bacterium Simkania negevensis Author summary Ubiquitination is a protein modification system that regulates protein degradation, localization, or interactions. As such, ubiquitination has many important functions in cell signallin...

Identification and characterization of a ubiquitin E3 RING ligase of the Chlamydia-like bacterium Simkania negevensis In the arms race between a pathogen and the host, many bacteria have acquired a sizable armory to counteract or change the defense mechanisms of the host cell, including the eukaryotic ubiquitin syste...

Our preprint is out. We are working on a revision, which promises to make this report even better. Big thanks to my talented PhD student Eva-Maria, who is behind this great story about a ubiquitin E3 RING ligase in a Chlamydia-related bacterium Simkania negevensis. doi.org/10.1101/2024...
