Ubiquitin-Conjugating Enzymes in Cancer [PDF]
Cells, 2021 The ubiquitin-mediated degradation system is responsible for controlling various tumor-promoting processes, including DNA repair, cell cycle arrest, cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, migration and invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance. The

The UBE2D ubiquitin conjugating enzymes: Potential regulatory hubs in development, disease and evolution [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Ubiquitination of cellular proteins plays critical roles in key signalling pathways and in the regulation of protein turnover in eukaryotic cells. E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzymes function as essential intermediates in ubiquitination reactions by acting ...

Targeted protein degradation using chimeric human E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes [PDF]
Communications BiologyProteins can be targeted for degradation by engineering biomolecules that direct them to the eukaryotic ubiquitination machinery. For instance, the fusion of an E3 ubiquitin ligase to a suitable target binding domain creates a ‘biological Proteolysis ...

A novel missense variant at the site of interaction between RLIM and E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes causes Tønne-Kalscheuer syndrome [PDF]
BMC PediatricsHemizygous variants in the RLIM gene, which is located on chromosome Xq13, cause Tønne-Kalscheuer syndrome (TOKAS). This X-linked recessive disorder is characterized by intellectual disability (ID), global developmental delay, behavioral impairment, gait

Echinococcus granulosus ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2D2 and E2N) promote the formation of liver fibrosis in TGFβ1-induced LX-2 cells [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a widespread zoonosis caused by the infection with Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (E. granulosus s.l.). CE cysts mainly develop in the liver of intermediate hosts, characterized by the fibrotic tissue that ...

Molecular Functions of Ubiquitin-like Modifiers in Bacterial Infection [PDF]
CellsUbiquitin-like proteins (UBLs) such as SUMO, NEDD8, ISG15, FAT10, and UFM1 are proteins that share structural similarities to ubiquitin. Like ubiquitin, they function as protein modifiers, catalyzing modifications through a conserved enzymatic cascade of
