2015

Novel naa10 mutation

Identification and characterization of a new NAA10 mutation causing a novel intellectual disability syndrome

New hope for creating drought-resistant plants

We have found targeting of the NatA enzyme to be a way to develop highly drought resistant plants since NatA controls the stress imposed on plants by drought.

Tension release by N-terminal acetylation

In a Spotlight article in TiBS, Aksnes and colleagues describe a recently revealed connection to blood pressure pathology to provide a new physiological understanding of the N-end rule pathway and N-terminal acetylation.

CELLULAR GPS SYSTEM TO CHARACTERIZE NAA60

Development of a “GPS system” to find protein-positions in cells. The method was used to reveal a special localization the newest member of an enzyme family with important tasks in the human body.
