In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, surprisingly, the transmembrane protein Sbh2, which harbors an intramembrane degron, is a substrate of the ubiquitin-protein ligase Doa10.
Figure 4. Investigation of Sbh1/Sbh2 chimeric proteins. Both Sbh2 TM and ER-luminal regions contribute to the degron. (A) Schematic representation of Sbh1, Sbh2, and Sbh1/Sbh2 chimeric proteins used in this study. Sbh1-derived regions are depicted in light blue, and Sbh2-derived regions are shown in black. The nomenclature for Sbh1/Sbh2 chimeric proteins is as follows: "Sbh-XYZ" designates a chimeric protein in which the number at position X indicates the source of the cytosolic domain ("1": Sbh1; or "2": Sbh2), the number at position Y indicates the source of the TM helix, and the number at position Z indicates the source of the ER-luminal domain, respectively. (right) Comparison of Sbh1, Sbh2, and Sbh1/Sbh2 chimera TA sequences. Residues depicted bold in red represent identical residues shared between Sbh1 and Sbh2; residues depicted in light blue are Sbh1-specific residues, and residues depicted in black indicate residues specific for Sbh2; the black horizontal line indicates the TM helix, and the asterisks indicate Sbh2 residues Ser61 and Ser68, respectively.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
