Deskripsi

Many pathogens manipulate ubiquitin-mediated signaling to evade host cell defense. Here, the authors characterize the structure and enzymatic activity of a deubiquitylase domain from the causative pathogen of scrub typhus, providing evidence for a distinct mechanism of ubiquitin chain selectivity.
