The ubiquitin E3/E4 ligase, UBE4A, fine-tunes protein ubiquitylation and accumulation at sites of DNA damage facilitating double-strand break repair [PDF]
, 2018 Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are critical DNA lesions that robustly activate the elaborate DNA damage response (DDR) network. We identified a critical player in DDR fine-tuning - the E3/E4 ubiquitin ligase, UBE4A.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.At low cell density, SETDB1 and YAP1 accumulate in the nucleus. As cell density increases, the Hippo pathway is gradually activated, and SETDB1 is associated with increased YAP1 phosphorylation. At high cell density, phosphorylated YAP1 is sequestered in the cytoplasm, while SETDB1 becomes polyubiquitinated and degraded by the ubiquitin–proteasome ...

A Tyrosine Switch on NEDD4-2 E3 Ligase Transmits GPCR Inflammatory Signaling
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Ubiquitination is essential for protein degradation and signaling and pivotal to many physiological processes. Ubiquitination of a subset of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) by the E3 ligase NEDD4-2 is required for p38 activation, but how ...

β‐TrCP overexpression enhances cisplatin sensitivity by depleting BRCA1
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Low levels of β‐TrCP (Panel A) allow the accumulation of BRCA1 and CtIP, which facilitate the repair of cisplatin‐induced DNA damage via homologous recombination (HR) and promote tumor cell survival. In contrast, high β‐TrCP expression (Panel B) leads to BRCA1 and CtIP degradation, impairing HR repair, resulting in persistent DNA damage and apoptosis ...
