Chromatin-Bound Cullin-Ring Ligases: Regulatory Roles in DNA Replication and Potential Targeting for Cancer Therapy

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2018
Cullin-RING (Really Interesting New Gene) E3 ubiquitin ligases (CRLs), the largest family of E3 ubiquitin ligases, are functional multi-subunit complexes including substrate receptors, adaptors, cullin scaffolds, and RING-box proteins.

Dynamics of phosphodiester synthesis by DNA ligase [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008
Ligases are essential actors in DNA replication, recombination, and repair by virtue of their ability to seal breaks in the phosphodiester backbone. Ligation proceeds through a nicked DNA-adenylate intermediate (AppDNA), which must be sealed quickly to avoid creating a potentially toxic lesion.

Virtual high-throughput screening identifies mycophenolic acid as a novel RNA capping inhibitor. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
The RNA guanylyltransferase (GTase) is involved in the synthesis of the (m7)Gppp-RNA cap structure found at the 5' end of eukaryotic mRNAs. GTases are members of the covalent nucleotidyl transferase superfamily, which also includes DNA and RNA ligases ...

A Tobacco Homolog of DCN1 is Involved in Cellular Reprogramming and in Developmental Transitions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Plant proteomes show remarkable plasticity in reaction to environmental challenges and during developmental transitions. Some of this adaptability comes from ubiquitin-mediated protein destruction regulated by cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligases (CRLs ...

DNA unwinding and inhibition of T4 DNA ligase by anthracyclines

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 1988
The ability to alter DNA tertiary structure of ten anthracycline derivatives whose antitumor potency is known was studied by an assay that makes use of nicked circular DNA and bacteriophage T4 DNA ligase. This assay allows the detection of tertiary structure alterations caused by DNA binding of both intercalating and non-intercalating drugs.

New Aspects of HECT-E3 Ligases in Cell Senescence and Cell Death of Plants

open access: yesPlants, 2019
Plant cells undergo massive orderly changes in structure, biochemistry, and gene expression during cell senescence. These changes cannot be distinguished from the hydrolysis/degradation function controlled by the ubiquitination pathway, autophagy, and ...

A role for SUMO modification in transcriptional repression and activation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Since the discovery of the SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier) family of proteins just over a decade ago, a plethora of substrates have been uncovered including many regulators of transcription.

The STUbL RNF4 regulates protein group SUMOylation by targeting the SUMO conjugation machinery

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
SUMO and ubiquitin are key signal transducers in several cellular processes including the DNA-damage response. Here the authors describe a method for selective enrichment of ubiquitin substrates for E3 ligases from complex cellular proteomes and identify

NAD+-dependent DNA ligases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Streptomyces coelicolor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Sequencing of the genomes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) identified putative genes for an NAD+-dependent DNA ligase. We have cloned both open reading frames and overexpressed the protein products in Escherichia coli.

Comparative analysis of T4 DNA ligases and DNA polymerases used in chromosome conformation capture assays

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2015
Three-dimensional (3-D) genome organization in the nuclear space affects various genomic functions. Circular chromosome conformation capture (4C-seq) is a powerful technique that allows researchers to measure long-range chromosomal interactions with a ...
