Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Redirecting the specificity of ubiquitination by modifying ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1995
Depletion of specific cellular proteins is a powerful tool in biological research and has many medical and agricultural benefits. In contrast to genetic methods currently available to attenuate protein levels, we describe an alternative approach that redirects the ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic pathway to facilitate specific proteolytic removal ...

Regulation of alphaherpesvirus infections by the ICP0 family of proteins [PDF]

, 2013
Immediate-early protein ICP0 of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is important for the regulation of lytic and latent viral infection. Like the related proteins expressed by other alphaherpesviruses, ICP0 has a zinc-stabilized RING finger domain that ...

TOMM20 as a driver of cancer aggressiveness via oxidative phosphorylation, maintenance of a reduced state, and resistance to apoptosis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
TOMM20 increases cancer aggressiveness by maintaining a reduced state with increased NADH and NADPH levels, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and apoptosis resistance while reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Conversely, CRISPR‐Cas9 knockdown of TOMM20 alters these cancer‐aggressive traits.

Activity-based protein profiling reveals both canonical and novel ubiquitin pathway enzymes in Plasmodium.

PLoS Pathogens
The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is essential for Plasmodium falciparum survival and represents a potential target for antimalarial therapies. We utilised a ubiquitin- activity based probe (Ub-Dha) to capture active components of the ubiquitin ...

Ubiquitin control of S phase: a new role for the ubiquitin conjugating enzyme, UbcH7

Cell Division, 2009
Events within and transitions between the phases of the eukaryotic cell cycle are tightly controlled by transcriptional and post-translational processes. Prominent among them is a profound role for the ubiquitin proteasome proteolytic pathway. The timely

Synergistic recruitment of UbcH7~Ub and phosphorylated Ubl domain triggers parkin activation [PDF]

, 2018
The E3 ligase parkin ubiquitinates outer mitochondrial membrane proteins during oxidative stress and is linked to early-onset Parkinson’s disease. Parkin is autoinhibited but is activated by the kinase PINK1 that phosphorylates ubiquitin leading to ...

Ubiquitination of transcription factors in cancer: unveiling therapeutic potential

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In cancer, dysregulated ubiquitination of transcription factors contributes to the uncontrolled growth and survival characteristics of tumors. Tumor suppressors are degraded by aberrant ubiquitination, or oncogenic transcription factors gain stability through ubiquitination, thereby promoting tumorigenesis.

A conserved asparagine has a structural role in ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes [PDF]

Nature Chemical Biology, 2013
It is widely accepted that ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes contain an active site asparagine that serves as an oxyanion hole, thereby stabilizing a negatively charged transition state intermediate and promoting ubiquitin transfer. Using structural and biochemical approaches to study the role of the conserved asparagine to ubiquitin conjugation by Ubc13 ...

Proteasome inhibitors: new class of antitumor agents

Biomolecules & Biomedicine, 2003
The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is the principal pathway for intracellular protein degradation1,2 (Fig 1). This pathway selectively degrades an extensive number of short-lived regulatory proteins involved in the control of normal cellular processes. In
