Synthesis of Poly-Ubiquitin Chains Using a Bifunctional Ubiquitin Monomer
An optimized large scale and highly reproducible route to orthogonally protected γ-thiolysine is reported. Its utility in the synthesis of bifunctional ubiquitin monomers is demonstrated. These ubiquitin synthons are employed in polymerization reactions giving access to synthetic poly-ubiquitin chains of defined linkage.
متن کاملLinear ubiquitin chains: enzymes, mechanisms and biology
Ubiquitination is a versatile post-translational modification that regulates a multitude of cellular processes. Its versatility is based on the ability of ubiquitin to form multiple types of polyubiquitin chains, which are recognized by specific ubiquitin receptors to induce the required cellular response. Linear ubiquitin chains are linked through Met 1 and have been established as important p...
متن کاملAtypical ubiquitin chains: new molecular signals
Ubiquitin (Ub) is a small protein modifier that regulates many biological processes, including gene transcription, cell-cycle progression, DNA repair, apoptosis, virus budding and receptor endocytosis. Ub can be conjugated to target proteins either as a monomer or as Ub chains that vary in length and linkage type. The various types of Ub modification are linked to distinct physiological functio...
متن کاملSmall ubiquitin-related modifiers in chains.
Post-translational modification of proteins by SUMOs (small ubiquitin-related modifiers) plays an important role in a wide variety of biological processes. The mammalian SUMO family includes three members, SUMO-1, SUMO-2 and SUMO-3. While target proteins are predominantly conjugated to monomeric SUMO, all three SUMO family members are able to multimerize in vitro. In cells, SUMOs have the poten...
متن کاملEnhanced Protein Degradation by Branched Ubiquitin Chains
Posttranslational modification of cell-cycle regulators with ubiquitin chains is essential for eukaryotic cell division. Such chains can be connected through seven lysine residues or the amino terminus of ubiquitin, thereby allowing the assembly of eight homogenous and multiple mixed or branched conjugates. Although functions of homogenous chain types have been described, physiological roles of...
