Abstract excerpt
Speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP), a substrate receptor for the Cullin-3-RING (CRL3) ubiquitin ligase, is mutated in different cancers. Both activating and inactivating mutations in SPOP drive oncogenesis, underscoring the need for precise regulation. Among substrate receptors, SPOP uniquely assembles into filaments that are multivalent for substrate binding. Conversely, many substrates contain multiple...
