The MALDI TOF E2/E3 ligase assay as universal tool for drug discovery in the ubiquitin pathway [PDF]
In many diseases, components of the ubiquitin system - such as E2/E3 ligases and deubiquitylases - are dysregulated. The ubiquitin system has therefore become an emergent target for the treatment of a number of diseases, including cancer ...

Functional Diversity and Structural Disorder in the Human Ubiquitination Pathway [PDF]
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

Structure of the HHARI catalytic domain shows glimpses of a HECT E3 ligase. [PDF]
The ubiquitin-signaling pathway utilizes E1 activating, E2 conjugating, and E3 ligase enzymes to sequentially transfer the small modifier protein ubiquitin to a substrate protein.

Targeted Degradation of 53BP1 Using Ubiquitin Variant Induced Proximity
In recent years, researchers have leveraged the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) to induce selective degradation of proteins by E3 ubiquitin ligases, which has great potential as novel therapeutics for human diseases, including cancer and ...

Activity-based E3 ligase profiling uncovers an E3 ligase with esterification activity [PDF]
Ubiquitination is initiated by transfer of ubiquitin (Ub) from a ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1) to a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2), producing a covalently linked intermediate (E2-Ub)(1). Ubiquitin ligases (E3s) of the 'really interesting new gene' (

E3 Ubiquitin Ligases as Cancer Targets and Biomarkers
E3 ubiquitin ligases are a large family of proteins that are engaged in the regulation of the turnover and activity of many target proteins. Together with ubiquitinactivating enzyme El and ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2, E3 ubiquitin ligases catalyze ...
