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

Research progress of RNF180 in gastric cancer
RNF180 is a type of ring finger protein with ubiquitin ligase activity, which can affect various physiological processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis by participating in the ubiquitinproteasome system. Studies have shown that

SPOP targets the immune transcription factor IRF1 for proteasomal degradation
Adaptation of the functional proteome is essential to counter pathogens during infection, yet precisely timed degradation of these response proteins after pathogen clearance is likewise key to preventing autoimmunity. Interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1)

The Ubiquitin Ligase SIAH2 Negatively Regulates Glucocorticoid Receptor Activity and Abundance
Glucocorticoids are clinically essential drugs used routinely to control inflammation. However, a host of metabolic side effects manifests upon usage beyond a few days.

Interplay between septins and ubiquitin-mediated xenophagy during Shigella entrapment
Septins are cytoskeletal proteins implicated in numerous cellular processes including cytokinesis and morphogenesis. In the case of infection by Shigella flexneri, septins assemble into cage-like structures that entrap cytosolic bacteria targeted by ...

Deubiquitinating enzymes at the crossroads of lipid metabolism and cancer
Deregulated lipid metabolism has been recognized as a critical alteration that supports the development and growth of various types of tumors. Changes in lipid metabolism enable reprogramming of energetics and availability of synthetic intermediates and ...

Assembly and disassembly of branched ubiquitin chains
Protein ubiquitylation is an essential post-translational modification that regulates nearly all aspects of eukaryotic cell biology. A diverse collection of ubiquitylation signals, including an extensive repertoire of polymeric ubiquitin chains, leads to

Sugar-Recognizing Ubiquitin Ligases: Action Mechanisms and Physiology
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.
