Primordial Protein Tails.
Abstract
C-terminal tailing is an ancient and conserved form of peptide synthesis that protects cells from incomplete and potentially toxic translation products. Filbeck et\xa0al. (2020) and Crowe-McAuliffe et\xa0al. (2020) use structural, genetic, and biochemical approaches to elucidate the mechanisms driving C-terminal tailing.
