Structural Mechanisms Underlying Posttranslational Modification by Ubiquitin-Like Proteins

Abstract: Covalent attachment of ubiquitin-like proteins (Ubls) is a predominant mechanism for regulating protein function in eukaryotes. Several structurally related Ubls, such as ubiquitin, SUMO, NEDD8, and ISG15, modify a vast number of proteins, altering their functions in a variety of ways. Ubl modifications can affect the target's half-life, subcellular localization, enzymatic activity, or ability to interact with protein or DNA partners. Generally, these diverse Ubls are covalently attached via their C termini to… Show more

“…Competitive binding experiments revealed UBC9 to be an E2 enzyme that dissociate with E1 before formation of E3 complex for sumoylation [43] which strengthens our postulation that RPL27 could deregulate sumolyation through formation of distinct complexes. …”

“…The conjugation of ubiquitin and UBLs requires the consecutive action of three specific enzymes: Ubl-activating enzymes (E1s), Ubl-conjugating enzymes (E2s) and Ublprotein ligases (E3s). Specific proteases reverse this process, removing ubiquitin from target proteins [19,20]. Ubiquitin is a highly conserved, small protein of 8.5 kDa involved in diverse functions, such as protein degradation, endocytic trafficking, signal transduction and DNA repair, among others.…”

“…Proteins are targeted to the proteasome by modification with ubiquitin chains, whose assembly depends on a cascade of E1, E2, and E3 enzymes (1,2). E3s containing a RING-domain recruit substrates and ubiquitin-charged E2s, and promote the transfer of ubiquitin from the E2 active site to a substrate lysine.…”
