...Gregory Heikel; Nila Roy Choudhury; Gracjan Michlewski Trim25 is a member of the tripartite motif family of E3 ubiquitin ligases. It plays major roles in innate immunity and defence against viral infection, control of cell proliferation and migration of cancer cells. Recent work identified Trim25...

...Joanne Elliott; Michelle B. Hookham; James A. Johnston Many studies have suggested that E3 ubiquitin ligases can behave as either oncogenes or tumour suppressor genes and, recently, it has become clear that the SOCS (suppressor of cytokine signalling) E3 ligases fit this mould. While most cancer...

...D.J. Moore Mutations in the parkin gene are a common cause of autosomal recessive early-onset parkinsonism. Parkin functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase where it can polyubiquitinate a number of its protein substrates, thus targeting them for degradation by the 26 S proteasomal complex. Recent...
