Abstract excerpt
Hakai is a RING finger type E3 ubiquitin ligase that is highly conserved in metazoans. Mammalian Hakai was shown to bind and ubiquitinate the intracellular domain of E-cadherin, and this activity is implicated in down-regulation of E-cadherin during v-Src-induced cellular transformation. To evaluate this model in vivo, we studied the function of the Drosophila homologue of Hakai. In cultured S2 cells, Drosophila...
