Ubiquitin ligases are well suited to regulate molecular networks that operate on a post-translational timescale. The F-box family of proteins - which are the substrate-recognition components of the Skp1-Cul1-F-box-protein (SCF) ubiquitin ligase - are important players in many mammalian functions. Here we explore a unifying and structurally detailed view of SCF-mediated proteolytic control of cellular processes that has been revealed by recent studies.
泛素连接酶非常适合调控在翻译后时间尺度上运作的分子网络。F-box蛋白家族——作为Skp1-Cul1-F-box蛋白(SCF)泛素连接酶的底物识别成分——在许多哺乳动物功能中发挥着重要作用。在此,我们探讨了近期研究所揭示的关于SCF介导的细胞过程蛋白水解控制的统一且结构详细的观点。
