Proteasomal surveillance of exposed cysteines
Cysteine residues are critical for both the catalytic activity and structural stability of many proteins, yet their high chemical reactivity threatens proteome integrity. Whether cells have specialized mechanisms to recognize and eliminate proteins with aberrant or exposed cysteines is unknown. By systematically analyzing the stability of thousands of cysteine-containing peptides, here we…
