The unifying catalytic mechanism of the RING-between-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase family

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
RBR E3 ubiquitin ligases utilise a 2-step catalytic mechanism previously defined for only few of the RBR family members. Here, the authors examine the poorly studied RBRs HOIL-1 and RNF216 to define general principles of RBR catalysis and regulation and ...

It’s a TRIM-endous view from the top: the varied roles of TRIpartite Motif proteins in brain development and disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2023
The tripartite motif (TRIM) protein family members have been implicated in a multitude of physiologies and pathologies in different tissues. With diverse functions in cellular processes including regulation of signaling pathways, protein degradation, and

The Ubiquitin Ligase SIAH2 Negatively Regulates Glucocorticoid Receptor Activity and Abundance

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2020
Glucocorticoids are clinically essential drugs used routinely to control inflammation. However, a host of metabolic side effects manifests upon usage beyond a few days.

Strategies to Investigate Ubiquitination in Huntington's Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2020
Many neurodegenerative disorders including Huntington's Disease are hallmarked by intracellular protein aggregates that are decorated by ubiquitin and different ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinating enzymes. The protein aggregates observed in Huntington'

SUV39 SET domains mediate crosstalk of heterochromatic histone marks

open access: yeseLife, 2021
The SUV39 class of methyltransferase enzymes deposits histone H3 lysine 9 di- and trimethylation (H3K9me2/3), the hallmark of constitutive heterochromatin.

SALL1 Modulates CBX4 Stability, Nuclear Bodies, and Regulation of Target Genes

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Development is orchestrated through a complex interplay of multiple transcription factors. The comprehension of this interplay will help us to understand developmental processes.

Development of an Individualized Ubiquitin Prognostic Signature for Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a common tumor type in genitourinary system and has a poor prognosis. Ubiquitin dependent modification systems have been reported in a variety of malignancies and have influenced tumor genesis and progression ...

Sugar-Recognizing Ubiquitin Ligases: Action Mechanisms and Physiology

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2019
F-box proteins, the substrate recognition subunits of SKP1–CUL1–F-box protein (SCF) E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, play crucial roles in various cellular events mediated by ubiquitination.

Effect of transient scrotal hyperthermia on sperm parameters, seminal plasma biochemical markers, and oxidative stress in men

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology, 2015
In this experimental prospective study, we aimed to analyze the effect of transient scrotal hyperthermia on the male reproductive organs, from the perspective of sperm parameters, semen plasma biochemical markers, and oxidative stress, to evaluate ...

Poxvirus Exploitation of the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System

open access: yesViruses, 2010
Ubiquitination plays a critical role in many cellular processes. A growing number of viruses have evolved strategies to exploit the ubiquitin-proteasome system, including members of the Poxviridae family. Members of the poxvirus family have recently been
