Molecular choreography: How the p97 protein regulates cellular quality control

The p97 protein plays a central role in cellular quality control by preparing defective or no-longer-needed proteins for degradation and recycling.

The p97 protein plays a central role in cellular quality control by preparing defective or no-longer-needed proteins for degradation and recycling. Researchers at the University of Münster, in collaboration with the University of Duisburg-Essen, have investigated how p97 and its auxiliary proteins interact in this process. The study has now been published in the journal Nature Communications.
