Ubiquitination in Plant Meiosis: Recent Advances and High Throughput Methods
Meiosis is a specialized cell division which is essential to sexual reproduction. The success of this highly ordered process involves the timely activation, interaction, movement, and removal of many proteins. Ubiquitination is an extraordinarily diverse

Keeping Cell Death in Check: Ubiquitylation-Dependent Control of TNFR1 and TLR Signaling
Pro-inflammatory signaling pathways, induced by pathogens, tissue damage or cytokines, depend on the ubiquitylation of various subunits of receptor signaling complexes, controlled by ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinases.

Control of mitochondrial biogenesis and function by the ubiquitin–proteasome system [PDF]
Mitochondria are pivotal organelles in eukaryotic cells. The complex proteome of mitochondria comprises proteins that are encoded by nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. The biogenesis of mitochondrial proteins requires their transport in an unfolded state

More Than Just Cleaning: Ubiquitin-Mediated Proteolysis in Fungal Pathogenesis
Ubiquitin-proteasome mediated protein turnover is an important regulatory mechanism of cellular function in eukaryotes. Extensive studies have linked the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) to human diseases, and an array of proteasome inhibitors have been

Structural and biochemical analyses of monoubiquitinated human histones H2B and H4 [PDF]
Monoubiquitination is a major histone post-translational modification. In humans, the histone H2B K120 and histone H4 K31 residues are monoubiquitinated and may form transcriptionally active chromatin.

Resolving the Complexity of Ubiquitin Networks
Ubiquitination regulates nearly all cellular processes by coordinated activity of ubiquitin writers (E1, E2, and E3 enzymes), erasers (deubiquitinating enzymes) and readers (proteins that recognize ubiquitinated proteins by their ubiquitin-binding ...

Ubiquitin is a highly conserved small eukaryotic protein. It is generated by proteolytic cleavage of precursor proteins in which it is fused either to itself, constituting a polyubiquitin precursor of head-to-tail monomers, or as a single N-terminal ...

Background: The mTOR signaling pathway is inactivated by AMPK’s tumor-suppressing function. It is recognized that ubiquitin conjugating enzyme 2O (UBE2O), which directly targets AMPK for ubiquitination and degradation, is intensified in human cancers ...

The realisation that unregulated activation of the Janus kinase–signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK–STAT) pathway is a key driver of a wide range of diseases has identified its components as targets for therapeutic intervention by small
