Quantitative proteomics reveals extensive lysine ubiquitination and transcription factor stability states in Arabidopsis An antibody-based approach to enrich ubiquitinated peptides reveals Arabidopsis root, seedling, and leaf ubiquitinomes.

Our Arabidizzle ubiquitinome paper is published! Awesome collaboration w @diorkelley.bsky.social lab lead by Gaoyuan Song - key contributions from so many others (@dormichicken.bsky.social @nmclark2.bsky.social)
