Congratulations to Carlos - the new Dr Riechmann - who successfully defended his PhD thesis! His PhD work uses cryo-EM and biochemistry to uncover how the parallel ubiquitination pathway initiator, UBA6, transfers ubiquitin to specific E2 enzymes and reveals a hierarchy exists amongst E2s for access to UBA6.
