Scientific Background: | Cullin-RING ligases (CRLs) comprise the largest subfamily of E3 ubiquitin ligases. In humans, six cullins (CUL1, -2, -3, -4A, -4B, and -5), two RBX-family RING proteins (RBX1 and -2), and hundreds of substrate receptors assemble into distinct CRLs that mediate ubiquitination of thousands of targets to regulate a vast array of cellular processes. CRL function is regulated by attachment of the ubiquitin-like protein (UBL) NEDD8 to a conserved lysine in a cullin’s C-terminal domain. NEDD8 both enhances intrinsic CRL ubiquitination activity and prevents CRLs binding to the inhibitor CAND1. The NEDDylation cascade employs one of two NEDD8 E2 conjugating enzymes, UbcH12 (aka Ube2M, BML-UW9145) and Ube2F, to facilitate this modification. Ube2F has been shown to be functionally distinct from UbcH12, interacting with RBX2 to target different cullins for NEDDylation. |
