Abstract excerpt
FWD1/beta-TrCP is the F-box protein that functions as the receptor subunit of the SCF(FWD1/beta-TrCP) ubiquitin ligase and has been shown to be responsible for the degradation of important signaling molecules such as IkappaBs and beta-catenin. Protein substrates of FWD1/beta-TrCP contain a consensus DSGPsiXS motif (where Psi represents a hydrophobic residue and X represents any amino acid). Recognition by...
