Ubiquitin ligases: cell-cycle control and cancer
A driving force of the cell cycle is the activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), the activities of which are controlled by the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of key regulators such as cyclins… Expand

Two E3 ubiquitin ligases, SCF‐Skp2 and DDB1‐Cul4, target human Cdt1 for proteolysis
Replication licensing is carefully regulated to restrict replication to once in a cell cycle. In higher eukaryotes, regulation of the licensing factor Cdt1 by proteolysis and Geminin is essential to… Expand

Phosphorylation‐dependent degradation of c‐Myc is mediated by the F‐box protein Fbw7
The F‐box protein Skp2 mediates c‐Myc ubiquitylation by binding to the MB2 domain. However, the turnover of c‐Myc is largely dependent on phosphorylation of threonine‐58 and serine‐62 in MB1,… Expand

VHL-box and SOCS-box domains determine binding specificity for Cul2-Rbx1 and Cul5-Rbx2 modules of ubiquitin ligases.
The ECS (Elongin B/C-Cul2/Cul5-SOCS-box protein) complex is a member of a family of ubiquitin ligases that share a Cullin-Rbx module. SOCS-box proteins recruit substrates to the ECS complex and are… Expand

Phosphorylation of beta-catenin by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase stabilizes beta-catenin through inhibition of its ubiquitination.
The mechanism of cross talk between the Wnt signaling and cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A [PKA]) pathways was studied. Prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)), isoproterenol, and… Expand

SCFFBW 7 regulates cellular apoptosis by targeting MCL 1 for ubiquitylation and destruction
The effective use of targeted therapy is highly dependent on the identification of responder patient populations. Loss of FBW7, which encodes a tumour-suppressor protein, is frequently found in… Expand

Blue light-induced autophosphorylation of phototropin is a primary step for signaling
Phototropins are autophosphorylating protein kinases of plant-specific blue light receptors. They regulate various blue light responses, including phototropism, chloroplast movements, hypocotyl… Expand

The F-box protein Skp2 participates in c-Myc proteosomal degradation and acts as a cofactor for c-Myc-regulated transcription.
The transcription regulatory oncoprotein c-Myc controls genes involved in cell growth, apoptosis, and oncogenesis. c-Myc is turned over very quickly through the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway. The… Expand

Targeted disruption of Skp2 results in accumulation of cyclin E and p27Kip1, polyploidy and centrosome overduplication
The ubiquitin–proteasome pathway plays an important role in control of the abundance of cell cycle regulators. Mice lacking Skp2, an F‐box protein and substrate recognition component of an… Expand

Cytoplasmic ubiquitin ligase KPC regulates proteolysis of p27Kip1 at G1 phase
The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27Kip1 is degraded at the G0–G1 transition of the cell cycle by the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway. Although the nuclear ubiquitin ligase (E3) SCFSkp2 is… Expand
