The ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathway: destruction for the sake of construction.
Between the 1960s and 1980s, most life scientists focused their attention on studies of nucleic acids and the translation of the coded information. Protein degradation was a neglected area,… Expand
The ubiquitin system
The selective degradation of many short-lived proteins in eukaryotic cells is carried out by the ubiquitin system. In this pathway, proteins are targeted for degradation by covalent ligation to… Expand
Molecular mechanisms of cell death: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death 2018
Over the past decade, the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death (NCCD) has formulated guidelines for the definition and interpretation of cell death from morphological, biochemical, and functional… Expand
Ubiquitin ligase activity and tyrosine phosphorylation underlie suppression of growth factor signaling by c-Cbl/Sli-1.
Receptor desensitization is accomplished by accelerated endocytosis and degradation of ligand-receptor complexes. An in vitro reconstituted system indicates that Cbl adaptor proteins directly control… Expand
The ubiquitin–proteasome pathway: on protein death and cell life
The discovery of the ubiquitin pathway and its many substrates and functions has revolutionized our concept of intracellular protein degradation. From an unregulated, non‐specific terminal scavenger… Expand
The ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathway
Mammalian cells contain two distinct proteolytic pathways that are involved in different aspects of protein breakdown. Proteins that enter the cell from the extracellular milieu (such as… Expand
Proteolysis: from the lysosome to ubiquitin and the proteasome

  • 2005
How the genetic code is translated into proteins was a key focus of biological research before the 1980s, but how these proteins are degraded remained a neglected area. With the discovery of the… Expand
Regulation of stability and function of the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) by ubiquitination
The epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC), composed of three subunits (αβγ), plays a critical role in salt and fluid homeostasis. Abnormalities in channel opening and numbers have been linked to several… Expand
Essential versus accessory aspects of cell death: recommendations of the NCCD 2015
Cells exposed to extreme physicochemical or mechanical stimuli die in an uncontrollable manner, as a result of their immediate structural breakdown. Such an unavoidable variant of cellular demise is… Expand
The Ubiquitin Proteasome System in Neurodegenerative Diseases Sometimes the Chicken, Sometimes the Egg
The ubiquitin-proteasome system targets numerous cellular proteins for degradation. In addition, modifications by ubiquitin-like proteins as well as proteins containing ubiquitin-interacting and… Expand
