Abstract excerpt
Cullin RING ligases (CRLs) constitute the largest family of ubiquitin ligases with diverse cellular functions. Conjugation of the ubiquitin-like molecule Nedd8 to a conserved lysine residue on the cullin scaffold is essential for the activity of CRLs. Using structural studies and in vitro assays, it has been demonstrated that neddylation stimulates CRL activity through conformational rearrangement of the cullin...
