Genome-wide analysis of HECT E3 ubiquitin ligase gene family in Solanum lycopersicum

Abstract The E3 ubiquitin ligases have been known to intrigue many researchers to date, due to their heterogenicity and substrate mediation for ubiquitin transfer to the protein. HECT (Homologous to the E6-AP Carboxyl Terminus) E3 ligases are spatially and temporally regulated for substrate specific...
