N-degron pathways are proteolytic systems that target proteins bearing N-terminal (Nt) degradation signals (degrons) called N-degrons. Nt-Arg of a protein is among Nt-residues can be recognized as destabilizing ones by the Arg/N-degron pathway. A cleavage generate Arg at N terminus resulting C-terminal (Ct) fragment either directly or after Nt-arginylation Ct-fragment Ate1 arginyl-tRNA-protein transferase (R-transferase), which uses Arg-tRNA cosubstrate. Nt-arginylate Nt-Asp, Nt-Glu, and oxidized Nt-Cys* (Cys-sulfinate Cys-sulfonate) short peptides. genes fungi, animals, plants have been cloned decades ago, but three-dimensional structure remained unknown. detailed mechanism arginylation unknown well.

Multi-subunit E3 ligases facilitate ubiquitin transfer by coordinating various substrate receptor subunits with a single catalytic center. Small molecules inducing targeted protein degradation have exploited such complexes, proving successful as therapeutics against previously undruggable targets. The C-terminal to LisH (CTLH) complex, also called the glucose-induced deficient (GID) is multi-subunit ligase complex highly conserved from Saccharomyces cerevisiae humans, roles in fundamental pathways controlling homeostasis and development several species. However, we are only beginning understand its mechanistic basis. Here, review literature of CTLH all organisms place previous findings on individual into context recent breakthroughs structure function.

The ubiquitin-proteasome system plays a critical role in biology by regulating protein degradation. Despite their importance, precise recognition specificity is known for few of the 600 E3s. Here, we establish two-pronged strategy identifying and mapping residues internal degrons on proteome-scale HEK-293T cells. We employ global stability profiling combined with machine learning to identify 15,800 peptides likely contain sequence-dependent degrons. combine this scanning mutagenesis define over 5,000 predicted Focusing Cullin-RING ligase degrons, generated mutational fingerprints 219 developed DegronID, computational algorithm enabling clustering degron similar motifs. CRISPR analysis enabled discovery E3-degron pairs, which uncovered 16 pairs that revealed extensive variability structural determinants. provide visualization these data public DegronID browser as resource future exploration.

Changes in the DNA damage response (DDR) and cellular metabolism are two important factors that allow cancer cells to proliferate. DDR is a set of events which recognized, repair recruited site damage, lesion repaired, responses associated with processed. In cancer, commonly dysregulated, enzymes prone changes ubiquitination. Additionally, metabolism, especially glycolysis, upregulated cells, this metabolic pathway modulated by The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), particularly E3 ligases, act as bridge between since they regulate processes. Hence, ligases high substrate specificity considered potential therapeutic targets for treating cancer. A number small molecule inhibitors designed target different components UPS have been developed, several tested clinical trials human use. review, we discuss role ubiquitination on overall confirm link them through NEDD4, APC/CCDH1, FBXW7, Pellino1. addition, present an overview clinically implications their practical

Abstract Proteolysis, including post-translational proteolytic processing as well protein degradation and amino acid recycling, is an essential component of the growth development living organisms. In this article, experts in plant proteolysis pose discuss compelling open questions their areas research. Topics covered include role cell cycle, DNA damage response, mitochondrial function, generation N-terminal signals (degrons) that mark many proteins for (N-terminal acetylation, Arg/N-degron pathway, chloroplast N-degron pathway), developmental metabolic signaling (photomorphogenesis, abscisic strigolactone signaling, sugar metabolism, postharvest regulation), responses to environmental (endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation, chloroplast-associated drought tolerance, growth-defense trade-off), functional diversification peptidases.

Mosquito-borne flaviviruses such as dengue (DENV) and Zika (ZIKV) cause hundreds of millions infections annually. The single-stranded RNA genome is translated into a polyprotein, which cleaved equally individual functional proteins. While structural proteins are packaged progeny virions released, most the nonstructural remain intracellular could become cytotoxic if accumulated over time. However, mechanism by maintained at levels optimal for cellular fitness viral replication remains unknown. Here, we identified that ubiquitin E3 ligase HRD1 essential in both mammalian hosts mosquitoes. directly interacts with flavivirus NS4A ubiquitylates conserved lysine residue ER-associated degradation. This avoids excessive accumulation NS4A, otherwise interrupts expression processed ER. Furthermore, small-molecule inhibitor named LS-102 effectively DENV2 infection mice Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, significantly disturbs DENV transmission from infected to mosquitoes owing reduced viremia. Taken together, this study demonstrates have evolved sophisticated exploit ubiquitination system balance homeostasis their own advantage provides potential therapeutic target interrupt transmission.

Ubiquitination is an enzymatic process characterized by the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to target proteins, thereby modulating their degradation, transportation, and signal transduction. By precisely regulating protein quality quantity, ubiquitination essential for maintaining homeostasis, DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, immune responses. Nevertheless, diversity enzymes extensive involvement in numerous biological processes contribute complexity variety diseases resulting from dysregulation. The relies on a sophisticated system, domains, receptors, which collectively impart versatility pathway. widespread presence highlights its potential induce pathological conditions. Ubiquitinated proteins are predominantly degraded through proteasomal also plays key role localization transport, as well inflammatory pathways.

Abstract AURKA is a potential kinase target in various malignancies. The kinase‐independent oncogenic functions partially disclose the inadequate efficacy of inhibitor Phase III clinical trial. Simultaneously targeting catalytic and noncatalytic may be feasible approach. Here, set proteolysis chimeras (PROTACs) are developed. CRBN‐based dAurA383 preferentially degrades highly abundant mitotic AURKA, while cIAP‐based dAurA450 lowly interphase acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. proteomic transcriptomic analyses indicate that triggers “mitotic cell cycle” “stem cell” processes, inhibits “MYC/E2F targets” processes. combined as PROTAC cocktail. cocktail effectively relieves hook effect, synergistically AML stem Furthermore, induces regression xenograft mouse model primary patient blasts. These findings establish promising spatial‐temporal drug administration strategy to sequentially eliminate multifaceted oncoproteins, relieve prevent cancer cell‐mediated resistance.
