Mechanism and Disease Association With a Ubiquitin Conjugating E2 Enzyme: UBE2L3 [PDF]
Ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 is an important component of the post-translational protein ubiquitination pathway, which mediates the transfer of activated ubiquitin to substrate proteins. UBE2L3, also called UBcH7, is one of many E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzymes that participate in the ubiquitination of many substrate proteins and regulate many ...

Conformational Dynamics Modulate Activation of the Ubiquitin Conjugating Enzyme Ube2g2 [PDF]
The ubiquitin conjugating enzyme Ube2g2 together with its cognate E3 ligase gp78 catalyzes the synthesis of lysine-48 polyubiquitin chains constituting signals for the proteasomal degradation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. Here, we employ NMR spectroscopy in combination with single-turnover diubiquitin formation assays to examine ...

Structural analysis of recombinant human ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UbcH5c
UbcH5c belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family and plays an important role in catalyzing ubiquitination during TNF-α--triggered NF-κB activation. Therefore, UbcH5c is a potent therapeutic target for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases induced by aberrant activation of NF-κB. In this study, we established a stable expression

Loss of the ubiquitin conjugating enzyme UBE2E3 induces cellular senescence
Cellular senescence plays essential roles in tissue homeostasis as well as a host of diseases ranging from cancers to age-related neurodegeneration. Various molecular pathways can induce senescence and these different pathways dictate the phenotypic and metabolic changes that accompany the transition to, and maintenance of, the senescence state.

Targeting neddylation E2s: a novel therapeutic strategy in cancer
Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 M (UBE2M) and ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 F (UBE2F) are the two NEDD8-conjugating enzymes of the neddylation pathway that take part in posttranslational modification and change the activity of target proteins.

The ubiquitin-proteasome system is required for African swine fever replication. [PDF]
Several viruses manipulate the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) to initiate a productive infection. Determined viral proteins are able to change the host's ubiquitin machinery and some viruses even encode their own ubiquitinating or deubiquitinating ...
