An international collaboration led by Prof Daniel Krappmann (Helmholtz Zentrum München) reported in Nature Communications the identification of the DUB Otulin as a regulator of the levels of nutrient transporters on the cell surface. This insight is important for potential treatments of metabolic diseases.
