Precise control of the activity and abundance of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s) ensures fidelity in ubiquitin chain synthesis. In this issue of , Liess demonstrate that the human anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C)-associated E2 UBE2S adopts an autoinhibited dimeric state that increases the half-life of UBE2S by preventing its autoubiquitination-driven turnover.
精确控制泛素连接酶(E2s)的活性和丰度可确保泛素链合成的保真度。在本期 杂志中,Liess 等人证明,与有丝分裂后期促进复合物(APC/C)相关的 E2 UBE2S 采用自动抑制的二聚体状态,通过阻止其自身泛素化驱动的周转来增加 UBE2S 的半衰期。
