Abstract excerpt
The poxviral RING protein p28 is a virulence factor whose molecular function is unknown. Many cellular RING-containing proteins act as ubiquitin ligases (RING-E3s) connecting selected substrate proteins to the ubiquitination machinery. Here we demonstrate that vaccinia virus p28 and its homologue in myxoma virus, M143R, can mediate the formation of polyubiquitin conjugates, while RING mutants of both p28 and...
