Strategies to Target Specific Components of the Ubiquitin Conjugation/Deconjugation Machinery
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2020 The regulation of ubiquitination status in the cell is controlled by ubiquitin ligases acting in tandem with deubiquitinating enzymes. Ubiquitination controls many key processes in the cell from division to death making its tight regulation key to ...

Functional Diversity and Structural Disorder in the Human Ubiquitination Pathway [PDF]
, 2013 The ubiquitin-proteasome system plays a central role in cellular regulation and protein quality control (PQC). The system is built as a pyramid of increasing complexity, with two E1 (ubiquitin activating), few dozen E2 (ubiquitin conjugating) and several

Functional analysis of proteasome-associated ubiquitin ligases in plants [PDF]
, 2022 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.

Cullin 3 ubiquitin ligases in cancer biology: functions and therapeutic implications
Frontiers in Oncology, 2016 Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases are the largest E3 ligase family in eukaryotes and are multi-protein complexes. In these complexes, the Cullin protein serves as a scaffold to connect two functional modules of the ligases, the catalytic subunit and ...
