Genetic analysis of the E2 transactivation domain dimerization interface from bovine papillomavirus type 1 [PDF]
The bovine papillomavirus type 1 (BPV1) E2 protein binds as a dimer to the viral genome to promote its transcription, replication and maintenance in keratinocytes. Although BPV1 E2 dimerizes primarily through its DNA-binding domain, it was shown previously that its transactivation domain (TAD) can also dimerize in vitro through formation of a disulfide

Versatile vector tools for efficient protein screening across multiple expression systems. [PDF]
A unified vector toolkit enables rapid protein expression screening across E. coli, insect, and mammalian cells. A single primer pair amplifies the target gene, which is inserted into any vector via a standardized interface. This streamlined workflow eliminates repeated cloning steps, accelerating the identification of optimal expression conditions for

While the catalytic role of ubiquitin-conjugating (UBE2/E2) enzymes within the ubiquitin–proteasome system is well established, their substrate-specifying functions in cancer, particularly at the tumor–immune interface, remain comparatively underexplored.

Inhibitors of apoptosis: expression and regulation in the endometrium during the estrous cycle and at the maternal-conceptus interface during pregnancy in pigs [PDF]
Objective Caspase-mediated apoptosis plays a crucial role in the regulation of endometrial and placental function in females. Caspase activity is tightly controlled by members of the inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) family. However, the expression

The Binding Interface between an E2 (UBC9) and a Ubiquitin Homologue (UBL1) [PDF]
Human UBC9 is a member of the E2 (ubiquitin conjugation enzyme) family of proteins. Instead of conjugating to ubiquitin, it conjugates with a ubiquitin homologue UBL1 (also known as SUMO-1, GMP1, SMTP3, PIC1, and sentrin). UBC9 has been shown to be involved in cell cycle regulation, DNA repair, and p53-dependent processes. The binding interfaces of the

Background Decidual macrophages participate in immune regulation at the maternal–fetal interface. Abnormal M1/M2 polarization of decidual macrophages might predispose immune maladaptation in recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL).

Crystal Structure of a Ube2S-Ubiquitin Conjugate. [PDF]
Protein ubiquitination occurs through the sequential formation and reorganization of specific protein-protein interfaces. Ubiquitin-conjugating (E2) enzymes, such as Ube2S, catalyze the formation of an isopeptide linkage between the C-terminus of a ...

Loop 7 of E2 enzymes: an ancestral conserved functional motif involved in the E2-mediated steps of the ubiquitination cascade. [PDF]
The ubiquitin (Ub) system controls almost every aspect of eukaryotic cell biology. Protein ubiquitination depends on the sequential action of three classes of enzymes (E1, E2 and E3).

Probing the antigenicity of hepatitis C virus envelope glycoprotein complex by high-throughput mutagenesis. [PDF]
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope glycoproteins E1 and E2 form a non-covalently linked heterodimer on the viral surface that mediates viral entry. E1, E2 and the heterodimer complex E1E2 are candidate vaccine antigens, but are technically challenging ...

Human Proteome-scale Structural Modeling of E2–E3 Interactions Exploiting Interface Motifs [PDF]
Ubiquitination is crucial for many cellular processes such as protein degradation, DNA repair, transcription regulation, and cell signaling. Ubiquitin attachment takes place via a sequential enzymatic cascade involving ubiquitin activation (by E1 enzymes), ubiquitin conjugation (by E2 enzymes), and ubiquitin substrate tagging (by E3 enzymes).
