Structure of the HHARI catalytic domain shows glimpses of a HECT E3 ligase. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The ubiquitin-signaling pathway utilizes E1 activating, E2 conjugating, and E3 ligase enzymes to sequentially transfer the small modifier protein ubiquitin to a substrate protein.

SUMO chain-induced dimerization activates RNF4 [PDF]
, 2014 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.

Disruption of the autoinhibited state primes the E3 ligase parkin for activation and catalysis [PDF]
, 2015 The PARK2 gene is mutated in 50% of autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism (ARJP) cases. It encodes parkin, an E3 ubiquitin ligase of the RBR family.

FBXL17/spastin axis as a novel therapeutic target of hereditary spastic paraplegia
Cell & Bioscience, 2022 Background Spastin significantly influences microtubule regulation in neurons and is implicated in the pathogenesis of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). However, post-translational regulation of the spastin protein remains nebulous.

TRIM32 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase for dysbindin [PDF]
Human Molecular Genetics, 2009 Mutations in the gene encoding tripartite motif protein 32 (TRIM32) cause two seemingly diverse diseases: limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2H (LGMD2H) or sarcotubular myopathy (STM) and Bardet-Biedl syndrome type 11(BBS11). Although TRIM32 is involved in protein ubiquitination, its substrates and the molecular consequences of disease-causing ...

Erioflorin stabilizes the tumor suppressor Pdcd4 by inhibiting its interaction with the E3-ligase β-TrCP1 [PDF]
, 2012 Loss of the tumor suppressor Pdcd4 was reported for various tumor entities and proposed as a prognostic marker in tumorigenesis. We previously characterized decreased Pdcd4 protein stability in response to mitogenic stimuli, which resulted from p70S6K1 ...
