Ubiquitin Ligases at the Heart of Skeletal Muscle Atrophy Control
Molecules, 2021 Skeletal muscle loss is a detrimental side-effect of numerous chronic diseases that dramatically increases mortality and morbidity. The alteration of protein homeostasis is generally due to increased protein breakdown while, protein synthesis may also be

How to Inactivate Human Ubiquitin E3 Ligases by Mutation
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 E3 ubiquitin ligases are the ultimate enzymes involved in the transfer of ubiquitin to substrate proteins, a process that determines the fate of the modified protein.

Cell, 2016 Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification of proteins involved in a variety of cellular processes. Ubiquitination requires the sequential action of three enzymes: E1 (ubiquitin-activating enzymes), E2 (ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes), and E3 (ubiquitin ligases).

Antibody targeting of E3 ubiquitin ligases for receptor degradation
Nature, 2022 Most current therapies that target plasma membrane receptors function by antagonizing ligand binding or enzymatic activities. However, typical mammalian proteins comprise multiple domains that execute discrete but coordinated activities. Thus, inhibition

Plant E3 Ligases and Their Role in Abiotic Stress Response
Cells, 2022 Plants, as sessile organisms, have limited means to cope with environmental changes. Consequently, they have developed complex regulatory systems to ameliorate abiotic stresses im-posed by environmental changes.

The role of E3 ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinases in bladder cancer development and immunotherapy
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Bladder cancer is one of the common malignant urothelial tumors. Post-translational modification (PTMs), including ubiquitination, acetylation, methylation, and phosphorylation, have been revealed to participate in bladder cancer initiation and ...
