Delighted to finally publish this story, which grew from a decade's worth of conversations with our collaborators Giulia Guarguaglini and Alessandro Paiardini 🥳🥳🥳
New paper from @LindonLab explains some of the mystery of AURKA biology by redefining degron sequences that mediate its destruction at each cell division. @UnivCamPharm @Abdelbaky47 @cyncoso @DrAscanelli life-science-alliance.org/co…

royalsocietypublishing.org/d… Thank you #OpenBiology and well done Robi! Our new review grew out of her pandemic lockdown project to survey the literature on mechanisms regulating expression of the Aurora kinase A, and how these contribute to its overexpression in cancers.

Our review now out in @FrontPhysiol 🥳. An enjoyable collaboration with @LauraItzhaki Lab and the result of conversations during lockdown on the question 'Why do substrates of ubiquitin ligases carry multiple degron motifs?' @cyncoso @UnivCamPharm

While Cath was at the 1st Annual @Cambridge_SBS #ResearchThemes meeting for Molecules & Cells. Fantastic to be part of a gathering of colleagues from so many different departments across the School.
Today we are at @downingcollege hearing molecular and cellular researchers from 9 Departments across the School sharing their ideas and discussing the Future of Molecules and Cells - exciting science and lots of ideas! #ResearchThemes

Cynthia and Annabel have also been on their travels - to the @BritPharmSoc @ELRIG_UK meeting @TheCrick on #NewModalities in Pharmacology and Drug Discovery - where Cynthia gave her excellent talk 'Studies of a mitotic kinase – from APC/C substrate to new TPD tools'.
At 11am, after the refreshment break, Dr Tim Hammonds and Dr @catherine_hurd will introduce our 'PROTACs and protein degradation' session, starting with talks by Cynthia Okoye @cyncoso, and Bronze Partners @AnalytikJenaUK. #NewModalities @ELRIG_UK @TheCrick
