Sumario: | The post-translational modification of proteins regulates many biological processes. Their dysfunction relates to diseases. Ubiquitination is one of the post-translational modifications that target lysine residue and regulate many cellular processes. Three enzymes are required for achieving the ubiquitination reaction: ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1), ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2), and ubiquitin ligase (E3). E3s play a pivotal role in selecting substrates. Many structural studies have been conducted to reveal the molecular mechanism of the ubiquitination reaction. Recently, the structure of PCAF_N, a newly categorized E3 ligase, was reported. We present a review of the recent progress toward the structural understanding of E3 ligases. |
