    Mechanism of ubiquitin ligation and lysine prioritization by a HECT E3

    Hari B Kamadurai, Yu Qiu ... Brenda A Schulman
    Structural studies reveal the mechanism by which a HECT E3 ubiquitin ligase carries out E2-to-E3-to-substrate ubiquitin transfer and prioritizes target lysines for ubiquitination.

    Requirement of Smurf-mediated endocytosis of Patched1 in sonic hedgehog signal reception

    Shen Yue, Liu-Ya Tang ... Steven Y Cheng
    Smurf1 and Smurf2 have essential functions in the mammalian Shh signaling pathway, binding to and ubiquitylating Patched1, leading to its endocytosis and subsequent degradation in lysosomes.

    Cis-interactions between Notch and its ligands block ligand-independent Notch activity

    William Hunt Palmer, Dongyu Jia, Wu-Min Deng
    Notch ligands expressed in the same cell as the Notch receptor are crucial to prevent accidental, ligand-independent Notch activity.

    A specific E3 ligase/deubiquitinase pair modulates TBP protein levels during muscle differentiation

    Li Li, Silvia Sanchez Martinez ... Robert Tjian
    Proteasome-mediated degradation of the TATA-box binding protein (TBP) during terminal differentiation is regulated by the E3 ligase Huwe1 and the deubiquitinase USP10.

    Enteric pathogens deploy cell cycle inhibiting factors to block the bactericidal activity of Perforin-2

    Ryan M McCormack, Kirill Lyapichev ... George P Munson
    Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli promote pathogenicity by deamidating the ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 to block ubiquitin-dependent trafficking of Perforin-2, which is an effector of innate immunity.

    Attenuation of AMPK signaling by ROQUIN promotes T follicular helper cell formation

    Roybel R Ramiscal, Ian A Parish ... Vicki Athanasopoulos
    The ubiquitin ligase ROQUIN cross-talks with cellular metabolic signals to generate protective T cell-dependent antibody responses.

    Histone H2B ubiquitylation represses gametogenesis by opposing RSC-dependent chromatin remodeling at the ste11 master regulator locus

    Philippe Materne, Enrique Vázquez ... Damien Hermand
    Building on previous work (Materne et al., 2015), it is shown that the ubiquitylation of histone H2B represses cell differentiation by opposing chromatin remodeling at the promoter of the master regulator of gametogenesis, ste11

    PTRF/Cavin-1 promotes efficient ribosomal RNA transcription in response to metabolic challenges

    Libin Liu, Paul F Pilch
    PTRF (Cavin-1) mediates metabolism-regulated ribosomal transcription in mature adipocytes, independent of its role in caveolae formation.
