Protein neddylation in lung tumorigenesis: Target validation and targeted therapy

Fundamental Research
Much akin to ubiquitylation, neddylation is catalyzed by a cascade of three enzymes: E1 NEDD8-activating enzyme, E2 NEDD8-conjugating enzyme (UBE2M or UBE2F), and E3 NEDD8 ligases.

Development of Protacs to Target Cancer-promoting Proteins for Ubiquitination and Degradation [PDF]

, 2003
The proteome contains hundreds of proteins that in theory could be excellent therapeutic targets for the treatment of human diseases. However, many of these proteins are from functional classes that have never been validated as viable candidates for the ...

Large‐scale bidirectional arrayed genetic screens identify OXR1 and EMC4 as modifiers of αSynuclein aggregation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Activation of the mitochondrial protein OXR1 increases pSyn129 αSynuclein aggregation by lowering ATP levels and altering mitochondrial membrane potential, particularly in response to MSA‐derived fibrils. In contrast, ablation of the ER protein EMC4 enhances autophagic flux and lysosomal clearance, broadly reducing α‐synuclein aggregates.

The Acidic Tail of the Cdc34 Ubiquitin-conjugating Enzyme Functions in Both Binding to and Catalysis with Ubiquitin Ligase SCFC^(dc4*) [PDF]

, 2009
Ubiquitin ligases, together with their cognate ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, are responsible for the ubiquitylation of proteins, a process that regulates a myriad of eukaryotic cellular functions. The first cullin-RING ligase discovered, yeast SCF^(Cdc4)

Ligase v1

, 2021
In vitro DNA molecular linkage is a biochemical process catalyzed by DNA ligase to form phosphoid bond between the 5 '-end phosphoric acid and the 3' -end hydroxyl group adjacent to two double-stranded DNA fragments under certain conditions.

RNA Sequencing Resolves Cryptic Pathogenic Variants in Mitochondrial Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial diseases are the most common inherited metabolic disorders, characterized by pronounced clinical and genetic heterogeneity that complicates molecular diagnosis. Although DNA‐based sequencing approaches have become standard in genetic testing, up to half of patients remain without a definitive diagnosis.

Nanotherapies for Atherosclerosis: Targeting, Catalysis, and Energy Transduction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Atherosclerosis management is hindered by poor drug targeting and plaque heterogeneity. Nanotechnology overcomes these barriers via three core strategies: (1) target‐engineered nanocarriers that achieve lesion‐specific precision via ligand modification, biomimetic camouflage, stimuli‐responsive release, and self‐propelling nanomotors; (2) catalytic ...

The role of HECT-type E3 ubiquitin ligases in inflammation

Frontiers in Immunology
Homologous to the E6-AP Carboxyl Terminus (HECT)-type E3 ubiquitin ligases are key components of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and play an important role in the regulation of inflammatory responses. Inflammation serves as a core defense mechanism

Ubiquitination accomplished: E1 and E2 enzymes were not necessary [PDF]

, 2016
Qiu et al. (2016) show that a mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase, SdeA, from Legionella pneumophila catalyzes ADP-ribosylation of ubiquitin, allowing SdeA to modify substrate with ubiquitin in the absence of E1 and E2 ...
