Combinatorial control in ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis: don't Skp the F-box hypothesis

TL;DR: A vast array of F- box proteins have been revealed by genome sequencing projects, and the early returns from genetic analysis in several organisms promise that F-box proteins will participate in the regulation of many processes, including cell division, transcription, signal transduction and development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural Basis for Phosphodependent Substrate Selection and Orientation by the SCFCdc4 Ubiquitin Ligase

TL;DR: A 2.7-ray crystal structure of a Skp1-Cdc4 complex bound to a high-affinity CPD phosphopeptide from human cyclin E reveals a core CPD motif, Leu-Leu-pThr-Pro, bound to an eight-bladed WD40 propeller domain in Cdc4.
Journal ArticleDOI

A hitchhiker's guide to the cullin ubiquitin ligases: SCF and its kin.

TL;DR: Structural insights into SCF-like complexes have begun to illuminate aspects of substrate recognition and catalytic reaction mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

The BTB protein MEL-26 is a substrate-specific adaptor of the CUL-3 ubiquitin-ligase.

TL;DR: The BTB-containing protein MEL-26 is identified as a component required for degradation of MEI-1 in vivo and in vitro, and displays properties of a substrate-specific adaptor in Cul3-based E3-ubiquitin ligases.
