In this chapter, we describe a method for detecting the ubiquitination status of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). This involves co-expression of a GPCR with an epitope-tagged ubiquitin construct in a -heterologous mammalian expression system. Stimulus-dependent modification of the GPCR by -ubiquitin is detected by immunoprecipitation and subsequent

Ubiquitin signaling in cell cycle control and tumorigenesis
Cell cycle progression is a tightly regulated process by which DNA replicates and cell reproduces. The major driving force underlying cell cycle progression is the sequential activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), which is achieved in part by the

SUMO chain-induced dimerization activates RNF4 [PDF]
Dimeric RING E3 ligases interact with protein substrates and conformationally restrain the ubiquitin-E2-conjugating enzyme thioester complex such that it is primed for catalysis.

Analysis of polyubiquitin conjugates reveals that the Rpn10 substrate receptor contributes to the turnover of multiple proteasome targets [PDF]
The polyubiquitin receptor Rpn10 targets ubiquitylated Sic1 to the 26S proteasome for degradation. In contrast, turnover of at least one ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) substrate, CPY*, is impervious to deletion of RPN10.

A Ubiquitin-like Protein Unleashes Ubiquitin Ligases [PDF]
Modification of cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases by the ubiquitin-like molecule Nedd8 promotes substrate ubiquitination. A crystal structure of a cullin modified by Nedd8 recently reported in Cell (Duda et al., 2008) and a biochemical study in Molecular Cell (Saha and Deshaies, 2008) reveal the dramatic impact on the ligase machinery by conjugation of ...

RNF4-Dependent Oncogene Activation by Protein Stabilization
Ubiquitylation regulates signaling pathways critical for cancer development and, in many cases, targets proteins for degradation. Here, we report that ubiquitylation by RNF4 stabilizes otherwise short-lived oncogenic transcription factors, including β ...

Structural insight into SUMO chain recognition and manipulation by the ubiquitin ligase RNF4 [PDF]
The small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) can form polymeric chains that are important signals in cellular processes such as meiosis, genome maintenance and stress response.

Ubiquitination accomplished: E1 and E2 enzymes were not necessary [PDF]
Qiu et al. (2016) show that a mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase, SdeA, from Legionella pneumophila catalyzes ADP-ribosylation of ubiquitin, allowing SdeA to modify substrate with ubiquitin in the absence of E1 and E2 ...

Targeting E3 ubiquitin ligases to sensitize cancer radiation therapy
Radiotherapy is an effective treatment for many cancer patients to eliminate malignant cells and increase survival rate. However, cancer cells can develop resistance in response to radiation through activation of signaling pathways that promote cell ...

Ubiquitin Pathway in VHL Cancer Syndrome
The physiologic response to changes in cellular oxygen tension is ultimately governed by a heterodimeric transcription factor called hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), which, in adaptation to compromised oxygen availability, transactivates a myriad of genes,
