Intrinsic disorder drives N-terminal ubiquitination by Ube2w.Klevit et al., Seattle, United States. In Nat Chem Biol, 2015
We show the Ub-conjugating enzyme (E2) Ube2w uses a unique mechanism to facilitate the specific ubiquitination of the α-amino group of its substrates that involves recognition of backbone atoms of intrinsically disordered N termini.
Ube2w and ataxin-3 coordinately regulate the ubiquitin ligase CHIP.Paulson et al., Ann Arbor, United States. In Mol Cell, 2011
Through their opposing activities, the initiator E2, Ube2w, and the specialized deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB), ataxin-3, participate in initiating, regulating, and terminating the CHIP ubiquitination cycle.
