Abstract excerpt
E3 ubiquitin ligases catalyze protein degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system, and their activity is tightly controlled. One level of regulation involves subcellular localization, and the Fbw7 tumor suppressor exemplifies this type of control. Fbw7 is the substrate-binding component of an SCF ubiquitin ligase that degrades critical oncoproteins. Alternative splicing produces three Fbw7 protein isoforms...
