Poxvirus Exploitation of the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System
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

Functional analysis of proteasome-associated ubiquitin ligases in plants [PDF]
Degradation of intracellular proteins by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is a sophisticated mechanism that begins with anchoring ubiquitin molecules to a substrate and ends with proteasome-dependent proteolysis.

Denervation-Induced Activation of the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System Reduces Skeletal Muscle Quantity Not Quality. [PDF]
It is well known that the ubiquitin-proteasome system is activated in response to skeletal muscle wasting and functions to degrade contractile proteins. The loss of these proteins inevitably reduces skeletal muscle size (i.e., quantity).

The ubiquitin-like modifier FAT10 is degraded by the 20S proteasome in vitro but not in cellulo
The ubiquitin-like modifier FAT10 is degraded by the 20S proteasome in vitro, whereas FAT10 degradation depends on the 26S proteasome in cellulo, shown by impairing 26S function via Rpt2 knockdown.

Dss1 Is a 26S Proteasome Ubiquitin Receptor [PDF]
The ubiquitin-proteasome system is the major pathway for protein degradation in eukaryotic cells. Proteins to be degraded are conjugated to ubiquitin chains that act as recognition signals for the 26S proteasome.

The degradation of p53 and its major E3 ligase Mdm2 is differentially dependent on the proteasomal ubiquitin receptor S5a. [PDF]
p53 and its major E3 ligase Mdm2 are both ubiquitinated and targeted to the proteasome for degradation. Despite the importance of this in regulating the p53 pathway, little is known about the mechanisms of proteasomal recognition of ubiquitinated p53 and

Hypercatabolism is common under septic conditions. Skeletal muscle is the main target organ for hypercatabolism, and this phenomenon is a vital factor in the deterioration of recovery in septic patients.

Ubiquitin-proteasome dependent mitochondrial protein quality control [PDF]
Dysfunctional mitochondria cause many neurodegenerative disorders and with aging in general, mechanisms of mitochondrial quality control are essential for cellular function.

Structure-guided design and optimization of small molecules targeting the protein-protein interaction between the von hippel-lindau (VHL) E3 ubiquitin ligase and the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) alpha subunit with in vitro nanomolar affinities [PDF]
E3 ubiquitin ligases are attractive targets in the ubiquitin-proteasome system, however, the development of small-molecule ligands has been rewarded with limited success.
