“…E3 ligases are vital components in this process, directly interacting with and catalyzing different ubiquitin linkages of their specific substrates, which can occur through K6-, K11-, K27-, K29-, K33-, K48- and K63-linked ubiquitination (Cruz Walma DA et al, 2022). Several types of ubiquitin linkages catalyzed by TRIM21 have been reported, and different ubiquitin linkages play distinct roles in host defense against pathogenic invasion (Jones EL et al, 2021). For instance, TRIM21-mediated K48-linked ubiquitination is tightly related to proteasome-dependent degradation, which results in the degradation of viral proteins in virus-infected cells (Mu T et al, 2020, Song Y et al, 2021, Hauler F et al, 2012).…”
