Fluorescent Ubiquitination-based Trbl Turnover Indicator (FUTTI): A tool to detect activity of the Tribbles pseudokinase in vivo

Christopher Nauman, Shima Shayestehpour, Shea O'Connor…·Leonard L. Dobens

The paper introduces FUTTI, a tool to detect Tribbles pseudokinase activity in vivo by using a fluorescent degron sensor that responds to Trbl levels.

A screen for targets of the Drosophila pseudokinase Tribbles identifies Neuralized and Mindbomb, ubiquitin ligases that mediate Notch signaling

Anna Shipman, Christopher Nauman, Britney Haymans…·Leonard L. Dobens

The paper identifies Neuralized and Mindbomb as Tribbles targets that modulate Notch signaling by stabilizing their proteins and suppressing their activity in Drosophila.
