Impaired neurogenesis and cardiovascular development in mice lacking the E3 ubiquitin ligases UBR1 and UBR2 of the N-end rule pathway
10 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
The N-end rule relates the in vivo half-life of a protein to the identity of its N-terminal residue. A subset of degradation signals recognized by the N-end rule pathway comprises the signals, called N-degrons, whose determinants include destabilizing N-terminal residues. Our previous work identified a family of at least four mammalian E3 ubiquitin ligases, including UBR1 and UBR2, that share the UBR box and...
