Non-canonical ubiquitylation makes its mark on Rap2 and cell motility

J Cell Biol. 2022 Apr 4;221(4):e202203029. doi: 10.1083/jcb.202203029. Epub 2022 Mar 25.

Abstract

Ubiquitin modification controls protein stability and cargo trafficking, and in this issue Duncan et al. (2022. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202107114) reveal a unique mechanism through which Rab40b/Cul5-mediated ubiquitylation of Rap2 regulates its activity and recycling to the leading edge to control cell migration and invasion.
