Phil Barbulescu and Chetan Chana from the alberto martin and Frank Sicheri labs published this article showing that FAM72A degrades UNG2 through the GID/CTLH complex to promote mutagenic repair during antibody maturation | Nature Communications

FAM72A degrades UNG2 through the GID/CTLH complex to promote mutagenic repair during antibody maturation pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39215025/

Researchers at alberto martin and colleagues identified a CTLH E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that co-opts FAM72A to recruit and degrade the UNG2 base excision repair factor to permit mutagenesis nature.com/articles/s4146…
