STRUCTURE OF AN E6AP-UBCH7 COMPLEX: INSIGHTS INTO THE UBIQUITINATION PATHWAY
Contents |
Overview
The E6AP ubiquitin-protein ligase (E3) mediates the human, papillomavirus-induced degradation of the p53 tumor suppressor in cervical, cancer and is mutated in Angelman syndrome, a neurological disorder. The, crystal structure of the catalytic hect domain of E6AP reveals a bilobal, structure with a broad catalytic cleft at the junction of the two lobes., The cleft consists of conserved residues whose mutation interferes with, ubiquitin-thioester bond formation and is the site of Angelman syndrome, mutations. The crystal structure of the E6AP hect domain bound to the, UbcH7 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2) reveals the determinants of E2-E3, specificity and provides insights into the transfer of ubiquitin from the, E2 to the E3.
Disease
Known disease associated with this structure: Angelman syndrome OMIM:[601623]
