Biochemical and Genetic Studies of UBR3, a Ubiquitin Ligase with a Function in Olfactory and Other Sensory Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Our previous work identified E3 ubiquitin ligases, termed UBR1-UBR7, that contain the ~70-residue UBR box, a motif important for the targeting of N-end rule substrates.

CRL Ubiquitin Ligases and DNA Damage Response

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2012
Cullin/RING ubiquitin ligases (CRL) comprise the largest subfamily of ubiquitin ligases and are involved in various biological processes. One of the main functions of CRLs is to regulate DNA damage response, a fundamental signaling cascade to maintain ...

A screen for E3 ubiquitination ligases that genetically interact with the adaptor protein Cindr during Drosophila eye patterning. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Ubiquitination is a crucial post-translational modification that can target proteins for degradation. The E3 ubiquitin ligases are responsible for recognizing substrate proteins for ubiquitination, hence providing specificity to the process of protein ...

The Role of HECT E3 Ubiquitin Ligases in Colorectal Cancer

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2023
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is estimated to rank as the second reason for cancer-related deaths, and the prognosis of CRC patients remains unsatisfactory. Numerous studies on gastrointestinal cell biology have shown that the E3 ligase-mediated ubiquitination

WWP2 ubiquitin ligase and its isoforms: New biological insight and promising disease targets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A number of recent papers on the WWP2 E3 ubiquitin ligase and two novel WWP2 isoforms have revealed important biological insight and disease-specific functions, and also impacted on our understanding of ubiquitin ligases in cell cycle regulation ...

Semantic clustering analysis of E3-ubiquitin ligases in gastrointestinal tract defines genes ontology clusters with tissue expression patterns

open access: yesBMC Gastroenterology, 2022
Background Ubiquitin ligases (Ub-ligases) are essential intracellular enzymes responsible for the regulation of proteome homeostasis, signaling pathway crosstalk, cell differentiation and stress responses.

E3 Ubiquitin Ligases in Breast Cancer Metastasis: A Systematic Review of Pathogenic Functions and Clinical Implications

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2021
Female breast cancer has become the most commonly occurring cancer worldwide. Although it has a good prognosis under early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, breast cancer metastasis drastically causes mortality.

Parkin-independent mitophagy controls chemotherapeutic response in cancer cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Mitophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that selectively targets impaired mitochondria for degradation. Defects in mitophagy are often associated with diverse pathologies, including cancer.

Exploration of Aberrant E3 Ligases Implicated in Alzheimer’s Disease and Development of Chemical Tools to Modulate Their Function

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
The Ubiquitin Proteasome System (UPS) is responsible for the degradation of misfolded or aggregated proteins via a multistep ATP-dependent proteolytic mechanism. This process involves a cascade of ubiquitin (Ub) transfer steps from E1 to E2 to E3 ligase.
