Sonja Lorenz and other members of the SFB have succeeded for the first time in visualising the mode of action of a ubiquitin ligase in 3D. The ligase binds ubiquitin molecules to proteins and uses this code to determine whether the proteins are incorporated or degraded, thereby regulating numerous processes in the cell.

The 3D folding of the genome influences which genes are switched on or off. Marieke Oudelaar and Elisa Oberbeckmann have made a decisive methodological advance in understanding how the genome folds. They succeeded in reproducing chromatin from yeast. This made it possible to systematically analyse the folding process and the proteins involved and to decipher the underlying mechanisms. Their work was funded as part of the Collaborative Research Centre “SFB 1565”.
