    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

    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.

    UBP12 and UBP13 negatively regulate the activity of the ubiquitin-dependent peptidases DA1, DAR1 and DAR2

    Hannes Vanhaeren, Ying Chen ... Dirk Inzé
    By inactivating DA1, DAR1 and DAR2 through deubiquitination, UBP12 and UBP13 regulate leaf growth, cell area and endoreduplication.

    The HIV-1 Tat protein recruits a ubiquitin ligase to reorganize the 7SK snRNP for transcriptional activation

    Tyler B Faust, Yang Li ... Alan D Frankel
    The HIV-1 Tat protein hijacks host non-degradative ubiquitination to trigger the nuclear import of the transcription elongation factor, P-TEFb.

    Sculpting ion channel functional expression with engineered ubiquitin ligases

    Scott A Kanner, Travis Morgenstern, Henry M Colecraft
    Engineered E3 ubiquitin ligases are utilized to elucidate mechanisms underlying ubiquitin regulation of membrane proteins, and to achieve robust post-translational functional knockdown of ion channels.

    Modular UBE2H-CTLH E2-E3 complexes regulate erythroid maturation

    Dawafuti Sherpa, Judith Mueller ... Arno F Alpi
    Erythroid maturation-dependent remodelling of CTLH E3 complex, along with its cognate E2, controls the orderly progression of human erythropoiesis, thus establishing a paradigm for other E2-E3 ubiquitylation modules involved in developmental processes.

    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.

    WRNIP1 prevents transcription-associated genomic instability

    Pasquale Valenzisi, Veronica Marabitti ... Annapaola Franchitto
    WRNIP1 has been identified as a pivotal factor in preventing the pathological persistence of R-loop-induced transcription-replication conflicts and the accumulation of DNA damage, thereby ensuring genome integrity.

    Establishment of developmental gene silencing by ordered polycomb complex recruitment in early zebrafish embryos

    Graham JM Hickey, Candice L Wike ... Bradley R Cairns
    Zebrafish early embryos initially package their developmental genes and enhancers in 'active' chromatin that subsequently receives polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1)-mediated histone H2A ubiquitylation, which confers silencing/poising – prior to Aebp2-PRC2-guided H3K27me3 addition.
