Structure of the MDM2/MDMX RING domain heterodimer reveals dimerization is required for their ubiquitylation in trans

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the MDM2/MDMX RING domain heterodimer and map residues required for functional interaction with the E2 are reported and it is shown that these residues are part of an extended surface that is essential for ubiquitylation in trans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structures of the cIAP2 RING domain reveal conformational changes associated with ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2) recruitment.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that disruption of E2 binding, or dimerization, stabilizes IAP proteins against IAP antagonists in vivo and shows that autoubiquitylation is required for regulation of IAP abundance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Smac Mimetics Activate the E3 Ligase Activity of cIAP1 Protein by Promoting RING Domain Dimerization

TL;DR: It is shown that RING dimerization is essential for the E3 ligase activity of cI AP1 and cIAP2 because monomeric RING mutants could not interact with the ubiquitin-charged E2 enzyme and were resistant to Smac mimetic-induced autoubiquitylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The CARD plays a critical role in ASC foci formation and inflammasome signalling.

TL;DR: The results of the present study depict a central role of CARDs in the formation of ASC signalling platforms and provide an important tool for investigation of CARD-dependent networks.
