Role of Nse1 Subunit of SMC5/6 Complex as a Ubiquitin Ligase
Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) complexes are important for many aspects of the chromosomal organization. Unlike cohesin and condensin, the SMC5/6 complex contains a variant RING domain carried by its Nse1 subunit.

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 ...

G3BP1 modulates SPOP to promote prostate tumorigenesis
Speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP), a Cullin 3-based ubiquitin ligase (CUL3SPOP), acts as a prostate-specific tumor suppressor. Loss-of-function mutations in SPOP occur in 10% of primary prostate cancer with a high Gleason grade and poor prognosis. However,

Trim25 restricts rabies virus replication by destabilizing phosphoprotein
Tripartite motif-containing protein 25 (Trim25) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that activates retinoid acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) and promotes the antiviral interferon response.

Cbl-c ubiquitin ligase activity is increased via the interaction of its RING finger domain with a LIM domain of the paxillin homolog, Hic 5. [PDF]
Cbl proteins (Cbl, Cbl-b and Cbl-c) are ubiquitin ligases that are critical regulators of tyrosine kinase signaling. In this study we identify a new Cbl-c interacting protein, Hydrogen peroxide Induced Construct 5 (Hic-5).

Stealing the spotlight: CUL4-DDB1 ubiquitin ligase docks WD40-repeat proteins to destroy
Recent investigation of Cullin 4 (CUL4) has ushered this class of multiprotein ubiquitin E3 ligases to center stage as critical regulators of diverse processes including cell cycle regulation, developmental patterning, DNA replication, DNA damage and ...

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.

Dysregulation of ubiquitin ligases in cancer [PDF]
Ubiquitin ligases (UBLs) are critical components of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS), which governs fundamental processes regulating normal cellular homeostasis, metabolism, and cell cycle in response to external stress signals and DNA damage. Among multiple steps of the UPS system required to regulate protein ubiquitination and stability, UBLs ...
