HECT and RING finger families of E3 ubiquitin ligases at a glance
1 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
The post-translational attachment of ubiquitin, a highly conserved 76-amino-acid polypeptide, directs myriad eukaryotic proteins to a variety of fates and functions. Ubiquitylation is best-known for targeting proteins for degradation by the 26S proteasome. Other functions include internalization and lysosomal targeting, modulation of protein interactions, alteration of subcellular distribution, regulation of...
