A Bacterial Platform for Studying Ubiquitination Cascades Anchored by SCF-Type E3 Ubiquitin Ligases
Ubiquitination is one of the most important post-translational modifications in eukaryotes. The ubiquitination cascade includes ubiquitin-activating enzymes (E1), ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2), and ubiquitin ligases (E3). The E3 ligases, responsible

Small Molecule Modulators of RING-Type E3 Ligases: MDM and Cullin Families as Targets
Ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) is a primary signaling pathway for regulation of intracellular protein levels. E3 ubiquitin ligases, substrate-specific members of the UPS, represent highly attractive protein targets for drug discovery.

Emerging roles of the HECT E3 ubiquitin ligases in gastric cancer
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most pernicious gastrointestinal tumors with extraordinarily high incidence and mortality. Ubiquitination modification of cellular signaling proteins has been shown to play important roles in GC tumorigenesis ...

Multiple cullin-associated E3 ligases regulate cyclin D1 protein stability
Cyclin D1 is a key regulator of cell cycle progression, which forms a complex with CDK4/6 to regulate G1/S transition during cell cycle progression.

Spindle assembly checkpoint is sufficient for complete Cdc20 sequestering in mitotic control [PDF]
The spindle checkpoint assembly (SAC) ensures genome fidelity by temporarily delaying anaphase onset, until all chromosomes are properly attached to the mitotic spindle. The SAC delays mitotic progression by preventing activation of the ubiquitin ligase anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) or cyclosome; whose activation by Cdc20 is required for sister ...

E3-targetPred: Prediction of E3-Target Proteins Using Deep Latent Space Encoding [PDF]
Understanding E3 ligase and target substrate interactions are important for cell biology and therapeutic development. However, experimental identification of E3 target relationships is not an easy task due to the labor-intensive nature of the experiments. In this article, a sequence-based E3-target prediction model is proposed for the first time.

A yeast cell cycle pulse generator model shows consistency with multiple oscillatory and checkpoint mutant datasets [PDF]
The regulatory mechanisms driving progression of the yeast cell cycle appears to be comprised of an interacting network of transcription factors (TFs), cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) and ubiquitin ligases. From a systems perspective the controlling regulatory network must produce robust periodic behavior during proliferative phases, but have the ...

SCF-dependent proteolysis was first discovered via genetic screening of budding yeast almost 25 years ago. In recent years, more and more functions of SCF (Skp1-Cullin 1-F-box) ligases have been described, and we can expect the number of studies on this ...

70 MW-level picosecond mid-infrared radiation generation by difference frequency generation in AgGaS2, BaGa4Se7, LiGaSe2, and LiGaS2 [PDF]
Comparative study of nonlinear crystals for picosecond difference frequency generation in mid-IR is presented. Nonlinear crystals of AgGaS$_2$, BaGa$_4$Se$_7$, LiGaSe$_2$, and LiGaS$_2$ were studied. Samples of AgGaS$_2$, BaGa$_4$Se$_7$, LiGaSe$_2$, and LiGaS$_2$ were tested in thee sets having lengths of 2, 4, or 8 mm.
