A Comprehensive Atlas of E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Mutations in Neurological Disorders
Protein ubiquitination is a posttranslational modification that plays an integral part in mediating diverse cellular functions. The process of protein ubiquitination requires an enzymatic cascade that consists of a ubiquitin activating enzyme (E1 ...

The EHEC type III effector NleL is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that modulates pedestal formation. [PDF]
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 causes hemorrhagic colitis and may result in potentially fatal hemolytic uremia syndrome in humans. EHEC colonize the intestinal mucosa and promote the formation of actin-rich pedestals via translocated ...

Identification of E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Substrates Using Biotin Ligase-Based Proximity Labeling Approaches [PDF]
Ubiquitylation is a post-translational modification originally identified as the first step in protein degradation by the ubiquitin–proteasome system. Ubiquitylation is also known to regulate many cellular processes without degrading the ubiquitylated ...

BRCA1 Is a Histone-H2A-Specific Ubiquitin Ligase [PDF]
The RING domain proteins BRCA1 and BARD1 comprise a heterodimeric ubiquitin (E3) ligase that is required for the accumulation of ubiquitin conjugates at sites of DNA damage and for silencing at DNA satellite repeat regions. Despite its links to chromatin,

RNF12 X-Linked Intellectual Disability Mutations Disrupt E3 Ligase Activity and Neural Differentiation [PDF]
Summary: X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) is a heterogeneous syndrome affecting mainly males. Human genetics has identified >100 XLID genes, although the molecular and developmental mechanisms underpinning this disorder remain unclear.

DTX3L ubiquitin ligase ubiquitinates single-stranded nucleic acids. [PDF]
AbstractUbiquitination typically involves covalent linking of ubiquitin (Ub) to a lysine residue on a protein substrate. Recently, new facets of this process have emerged, including Ub modification of non-proteinaceous substrates like ADP-ribose by the DELTEX E3 ligase family.
