Solution Structure of the Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated Herpesvirus K3 N-terminal Domain Reveals a Novel E2-binding C4HC3-type RING Domain
1 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
RING domains are found in a large number of eukaryotic proteins. Most function as E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases, catalyzing the terminal step in the ubiquitination process. Structurally, these domains have been characterized as binding two zinc ions in a stable cross-brace motif. The tumorigenic human gamma-herpesvirus Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus encodes a ubiquitin-protein ligase termed K3, which...
