The paper identifies TeTIR domains as a new class of TIR-like NADase effectors in STAND proteins, showing NADase activity and structural features distinct from canonical TIR domains.

The paper identifies plant-specific DUC deubiquitinases that stabilize endocytic cargo at the plasma membrane by cleaving K63-linked ubiquitin chains.

The paper identifies a new family of bacterial deubiquitinases that cleave ubiquitin before the C-terminal diGly motif, truncating the modifier and leaving a remnant on the substrate.

The paper characterizes the non-prime- and prime-side specificity of Pro-Pro endopeptidases using synthetic peptide libraries and mass spectrometry, identifying novel PPEPs and altered specificity in mutants.
