Structural Diversity of Ubiquitin E3 Ligase [PDF]

Molecules, 2021
The post-translational modification of proteins regulates many biological processes. Their dysfunction relates to diseases. Ubiquitination is one of the post-translational modifications that target lysine residue and regulate many cellular processes. Three enzymes are required for achieving the ubiquitination reaction: ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1),

Discovery of E3 Ligase Ligands for Target Protein Degradation

Molecules, 2022
Target protein degradation has emerged as a promising strategy for the discovery of novel therapeutics during the last decade. Proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) harnesses a cellular ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis system for the efficient ...

A Comprehensive Atlas of E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Mutations in Neurological Disorders

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
Protein ubiquitination is a posttranslational modification that plays an integral part in mediating diverse cellular functions. The process of protein ubiquitination requires an enzymatic cascade that consists of a ubiquitin activating enzyme (E1 ...

The Role of E3 Ligase Pirh2 in Disease

Cells, 2022
The p53-dependent ubiquitin ligase Pirh2 regulates a number of proteins involved in different cancer-associated processes. Targeting the p53 family proteins, Chk2, p27Kip1, Twist1 and others, Pirh2 participates in such cellular processes as proliferation, cell cycle regulation, apoptosis and cellular migration.

IAPs as E3 ligases of Rac1 [PDF]

Small GTPases, 2012
Inhibitors of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs) are well-studied E3 ubiquitin ligases predominantly known for regulation of apoptosis. We uncovered that IAPs can function as a direct E3 ubiquitin ligase of RhoGTPase Rac1. cIAP1 and XIAP directly conjugate polyubiquitin chains to Lysine 147 of activated Rac1 and target it for proteasomal degradation ...

Pto kinase binds two domains of AvrPtoB and its proximity to the effector E3 ligase determines if it evades degradation and activates plant immunity. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
The tomato--Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst)--pathosystem is one of the best understood models for plant-pathogen interactions. Certain wild relatives of tomato express two closely related members of the same kinase family, Pto and Fen, which ...

RING Domain E3 Ubiquitin Ligases

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2009
E3 ligases confer specificity to ubiquitination by recognizing target substrates and mediating transfer of ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme to substrate. The activity of most E3s is specified by a RING domain, which binds to an E2∼ubiquitin thioester and activates discharge of its ubiquitin cargo.

AIRE Functions As an E3 Ubiquitin Ligase [PDF]

The Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2004
Autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene mutation is responsible for the development of autoimmune-polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis ectodermal dystrophy, an organ-specific autoimmune disease with monogenic autosomal recessive inheritance. AIRE is predominantly expressed in medullary epithelial cells of the thymus and is considered to play important roles in the ...

Biochemical characterization of TRIM72 E3 ligase and its interaction with the insulin receptor substrate 1

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2020
TRIM family of E3 ubiquitin ligases have an amino-terminal conserved tripartite motif consisting of RING, B-Box, coiled-coil domain and different C-terminal domain leading it to classification into 11 subclasses.
