Pull out to large screen STORYLINE: Israelis Aaron Ciechanover and Avram Hershko and American Irwin Rose won the 2004 Nobel Prize in chemistry on Tuesday for their work in discovering ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation. Ciechanover, 57, Hershko, 67, and Irwin Rose, 78, were honoured by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for their work in the 1980s that discovered one of the cell's most important cyclical processes, regulated protein degradation. In its citation, the academy said, "Thanks to the work of the three laureates it is now possible to understand at molecular level how the cell controls a number of central processes by breaking down certain proteins and not others. " "Examples of processes governed by ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation are cell division, DNA repair, quality control of newly produced proteins, and important parts of the immune defence," it said. Ciechanover is director of the Rappaport Family Institute for Research in Medical Sciences at the Technion, in Haifa, Israel, while Hershko, originally from Hungary, is a professor there. Rose is a specialist at the department of physiology and biophysics at the college of medicine at the University of California at Irvine. All three will share the 10 million Swedish kronor (1.3 (m) million US dollars) cash prize.
