Ubiquitin-related modifiers of Arabidopsis thaliana influence root development. [PDF]
Ubiquitins are small peptides that allow for posttranslational modification of proteins. Ubiquitin-related modifier (URM) proteins belong to the class of ubiquitin-like proteins. A primary function of URM proteins has been shown to be the sulfur transfer

Regulation of the linear ubiquitination of STAT1 controls antiviral interferon signaling
LUBAC is involved in adding linear ubiquitin chains to important immune signaling proteins. Here the authors show that this mechanism is effective in inhibiting STAT1-mediated interferon signaling, and that the deubiquitinase OTULIN can remove these ...

Regulation of Wnt Signaling through Ubiquitination and Deubiquitination in Cancers
The Wnt signaling pathway plays important roles in embryonic development, homeostatic processes, cell differentiation, cell polarity, cell proliferation, and cell migration via the β-catenin binding of Wnt target genes.

The E3 ligase RAD18-mediated ubiquitination of henipavirus matrix protein promotes its nuclear-cytoplasmic trafficking and viral egress. [PDF]
The nuclear-cytoplasmic trafficking of matrix proteins (M) is essential for henipavirus budding, with M protein ubiquitination playing a pivotal role in this dynamic process.

Specificity of protein degradation by cellular proteasomes comes from tetra-ubiquitin recognition. We carry out molecular dynamics simulations to characterize how the ubiquitin receptor Rpn10 recognizes in the 26S proteasome K48-linked tetra-ubiquitin ...

The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in Huntington's disease. [PDF]
The accumulation of mutant protein is a common feature of neurodegenerative disease. In Huntington's disease, a polyglutamine expansion in the huntingtin protein triggers neuronal toxicity.

The Ubiquitination Machinery of the Ubiquitin System [PDF]
The protein ubiquitin is a covalent modifier of proteins, including itself. The ubiquitin system encompasses the enzymes required for catalysing attachment of ubiquitin to substrates as well as proteins that bind to ubiquitinated proteins leading them to their final fate.

RING E3 ligases:key regulatory elements are involved in abiotic stress responses in plants [PDF]
Plants are constantly exposed to a variety of abiotic stresses, such as drought, heat, cold, flood, and salinity. To survive under such unfavorable conditions, plants have evolutionarily developed their own resistant-mechanisms. For several decades, many

A comparative analysis of the ubiquitination kinetics of multiple degrons to identify an ideal targeting sequence for a proteasome reporter. [PDF]
The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is the primary pathway responsible for the recognition and degradation of misfolded, damaged, or tightly regulated proteins.
