Recently, a Legionella pneumophila effector protein was shown to have an unprecedented ATP-independent ubiquitin ligase activity that couples phosphoribosylated ubiquitin (PR-Ub) to serine residues of host proteins. A new study published in Cell Research by Qiu et al. reveals that another Legionella effector protein, SidJ, catalyzes deubiquitination of PR-Ub by cleavage of the substrate-linked phosphodiester bond.
最近,一项研究表明,嗜肺军团菌效应蛋白具有一种前所未有的、不依赖于 ATP 的泛素连接酶活性,可将磷酸核糖基化的泛素(PR-Ub)连接到宿主蛋白的丝氨酸残基上。邱等在《细胞研究》上发表的一项新研究揭示,另一种军团菌效应蛋白 SidJ 通过切割底物连接的磷酸二酯键来催化 PR-Ub 的去泛素化。
