The Role of E3 Ubiquitin Ligases in Chloroplast Function [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Chloroplasts are ancient organelles responsible for photosynthesis and various biosynthetic functions essential to most life on Earth. Many of these functions require tightly controlled regulatory processes to maintain homeostasis at the protein level ...

E3 Ubiquitin Ligases: Potential Therapeutic Targets for Skeletal Pathology and Degeneration

open access: yesStem Cells International, 2022
The ubiquitination-proteasome system (UPS) is crucial in regulating a variety of cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Ubiquitin protein ligase E3 is the most critical molecule in the UPS system.

A viral ubiquitin ligase has substrate preferential SUMO targeted ubiquitin ligase activity that counteracts intrinsic antiviral defence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Intrinsic antiviral resistance represents the first line of intracellular defence against virus infection. During herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) infection this response can lead to the repression of viral gene expression but is counteracted by the ...

Structural basis for Cul3 protein assembly with the BTB-Kelch family of E3 ubiquitin ligases.

open access: yes, 2013
Cullin-RING ligases are multisubunit E3 ubiquitin ligases that recruit substrate-specific adaptors to catalyze protein ubiquitylation. Cul3-based Cullin-RING ligases are uniquely associated with BTB adaptors that incorporate homodimerization, Cul3 ...

Generation and physiological roles of linear ubiquitin chains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Ubiquitination now ranks with phosphorylation as one of the best-studied post-translational modifications of proteins with broad regulatory roles across all of biology.

Decoding the ubiquitin-mediated pathway of arthropod disease vectors. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Protein regulation by ubiquitin has been extensively described in model organisms. However, characterization of the ubiquitin machinery in disease vectors remains mostly unknown.

Repertoire of plant RING E3 ubiquitin ligases revisited: New groups counting gene families and single genes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
E3 ubiquitin ligases of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) mediate recognition of substrates and later transfer the ubiquitin (Ub). They are the most expanded components of the system.

Functional Diversity and Structural Disorder in the Human Ubiquitination Pathway

open access: yes, 2013
The ubiquitin-proteasome system plays a central role in cellular regulation and protein quality control (PQC). The system is built as a pyramid of increasing complexity, with two E1 (ubiquitin activating), few dozen E2 (ubiquitin conjugating) and several

Reduced cul-5 activity causes aberrant follicular morphogenesis and germ cell loss in Drosophila oogenesis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Drosophila oogenesis is especially well suited for studying stem cell biology, cellular differentiation, and morphogenesis. The small modifier protein ubiquitin regulates many cellular pathways.

Dynamic control of selectivity in the ubiquitination pathway revealed by an ASP to GLU substitution in an intra-molecular salt-bridge network

open access: yes, 2012
Ubiquitination relies on a subtle balance between selectivity and promiscuity achieved through specific interactions between ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s) and ubiquitin ligases (E3s).
