摘要
The ubiquitin-dependent N-end rule pathway targets proteins for degradation through their destabilizing N-terminal residues. This pathway is known to control the import of peptides, chromosome stability and cardiovascular development. A new report identifies yet another function of the N-end rule pathway: the regulation of apoptosis through degradation of Drosophila melanogaster DIAP1.
