Structure of a RING E3 ligase and ubiquitin-loaded E2 primed for catalysis
- Anna Plechanovová, E. Jaffray, M. Tatham, J. Naismith, R. Hay
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 11 July 2012
Ubiquitin modification is mediated by a large family of specificity determining ubiquitin E3 ligases. To facilitate ubiquitin transfer, RING E3 ligases bind both substrate and a ubiquitin E2… Expand
Ube2W conjugates ubiquitin to α-amino groups of protein N-termini
- M. Tatham, Anna Plechanovová, E. Jaffray, H. Salmen, R. Hay
- Biology, Medicine
- The Biochemical journal
- 8 April 2013
The covalent attachment of the protein ubiquitin to intracellular proteins by a process known as ubiquitylation regulates almost all major cellular systems, predominantly by regulating protein… Expand
Structural basis for the RING catalyzed synthesis of K63 linked ubiquitin chains
- E. Branigan, Anna Plechanovová, E. Jaffray, J. Naismith, R. Hay
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Structural &Molecular Biology
- 5 June 2015
RING E3 ligase–catalyzed formation of K63-linked ubiquitin chains by the Ube2V2–Ubc13 E2 complex is required in many important biological processes. Here we report the structure of the RING-domain… Expand
Proteome-Wide Identification of SUMO2 Modification Sites
- Triin Tammsalu, I. Matic, E. Jaffray, Adel F. M. Ibrahim, M. Tatham, R. Hay
- Biology, Medicine
- Science Signaling
- 29 April 2014
A novel method for the enrichment of SUMO2-modified peptides reveals more than 1000 sites of modification in human cells. Sleuthing SUMO Sites Covalent attachment to small ubiquitin-like modifiers… Expand
SUMOylation of the GTPase Rac1 is required for optimal cell migration
- Sonia Castillo-Lluva, M. Tatham, +4 authors A. Malliri
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Cell Biology
- 10 October 2010
The Rho-like GTPase, Rac1, induces cytoskeletal rearrangements required for cell migration. Rac activation is regulated through a number of mechanisms, including control of nucleotide exchange and… Expand
Arsenic-Induced SUMO-Dependent Recruitment of RNF4 into PML Nuclear Bodies
- Marie-Claude Geoffroy, E. Jaffray, Katherine J. Walker, R. Hay
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular biology of the cell
- 1 December 2010
Here we analyze the nuclear trafficking dynamics of PML and its SUMO-dependent ubiquitin ligase, RNF4, in response to arsenic. We show that arsenic induces rapid reorganization of the cell nucleus by… Expand
The SUMO protease SENP6 is a direct regulator of PML nuclear bodies
- Neil Hattersley, L. Shen, E. Jaffray, R. Hay
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular biology of the cell
- 1 January 2011
We show that SUMO-specific protease SENP6 can cleave mixed SUMO-1 and SUMO-2/3 chains. Depletion of SENP6 results in accumulation of SUMO-2/3 and SUMO-1 conjugates in promyelocytic leukemia (PML)… Expand
Characterization of SENP7, a SUMO-2/3-specific isopeptidase.
- L. N. Shen, Marie-Claude Geoffroy, E. Jaffray, R. Hay
- Biology, Medicine
- The Biochemical journal
- 15 July 2009
The modification of proteins by SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier) plays important roles in regulating the activity, stability and cellular localization of target proteins. Similar to… Expand
Mechanism of ubiquitylation by dimeric RING ligase RNF4
- Anna Plechanovová, E. Jaffray, +4 authors R. Hay
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Structural &Molecular Biology
- 1 September 2011
Mammalian RNF4 is a dimeric RING ubiquitin E3 ligase that ubiquitylates poly-SUMOylated proteins. We found that RNF4 bound ubiquitin-charged UbcH5a tightly but free UbcH5a weakly. To provide insight… Expand
SUMO Chain-Induced Dimerization Activates RNF4
- A. Rojas-Fernández, Anna Plechanovová, Neil Hattersley, E. Jaffray, M. Tatham, R. Hay
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular cell
- 20 March 2014
Summary Dimeric RING E3 ligases interact with protein substrates and conformationally restrain the ubiquitin-E2-conjugating enzyme thioester complex such that it is primed for catalysis. RNF4 is an… Expand
