RBR E3 ubiquitin ligases: new structures, new insights, new questions [PDF]
The RBR (RING-BetweenRING-RING) or TRIAD [two RING fingers and a DRIL (double RING finger linked)] E3 ubiquitin ligases comprise a group of 12 complex multidomain enzymes.

Significance The formation of isopeptide bonds between the C-terminal carboxylate of ubiquitin and ε-amino groups of lysine residues on another protein is a major mechanism for regulating protein function. Ubiquitin can also form peptide bonds with the N-

SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligases
Covalent posttranslational modification with SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier) modulates functions of a wide range of proteins in eukaryotic cells. Sumoylation affects the activity, interaction properties, subcellular localization and the stability of its substrate proteins.

Linear ubiquitin chains: enzymes, mechanisms and biology [PDF]
Ubiquitination is a versatile post-translational modification that regulates a multitude of cellular processes. Its versatility is based on the ability of ubiquitin to form multiple types of polyubiquitin chains, which are recognized by specific ...

RMND5 from Xenopus laevis is an E3 ubiquitin-ligase and functions in early embryonic forebrain development. [PDF]
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the Gid-complex functions as an ubiquitin-ligase complex that regulates the metabolic switch between glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.

A yeast cell cycle pulse generator model shows consistency with multiple oscillatory and checkpoint mutant datasets [PDF]
The regulatory mechanisms driving progression of the yeast cell cycle appears to be comprised of an interacting network of transcription factors (TFs), cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) and ubiquitin ligases. From a systems perspective the controlling regulatory network must produce robust periodic behavior during proliferative phases, but have the ...

The NLRP3 inflammasome has a fundamental role in host defence against microbial pathogens and its deregulation may cause diverse inflammatory diseases. NLRP3 protein expression is a rate-limiting step for inflammasome activation, thus its expression must

Mechanical unfolding and refolding pathways of ubiquitin [PDF]
Mechanical unfolding and refolding of ubiquitin are studied by Monte Carlo simulations of a Go model with binary variables. The exponential dependence of the time constants on the force is verified, and folding and unfolding lengths are computed, with good agreement with experimental results. Furthermore, the model exhibits intermediate kinetic states,

Differential regulation of RNF8-mediated Lys48- and Lys63-based poly-ubiquitylation [PDF]
Pairing of a given E3 ubiquitin ligase with different E2s allows synthesis of ubiquitin conjugates of different topologies. While this phenomenon contributes to functional diversity, it remains largely unknown how a single E3 ubiquitin ligase recognizes ...

The ubiquitination mediated by ubiquitin activating enzyme (E1), ubiquitin conjugating enzyme (E2), and ubiquitin ligase (E3) cascade is crucial to protein degradation, transcription regulation, and cell signaling in eukaryotic cells.
