Targeting Proteins for Destruction by the Ubiquitin System: Implications for Human Pathobiology

Schwartz, Alan L., Ciechanover, Aaron·2009·Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology

Abstract

Cellular proteins are in a dynamic state maintained by synthesis and degradation. The ubiquitin proteolytic pathway is responsible for the degradation of the bulk of cellular proteins including short-lived, regulatory, and misfolded/denatured proteins. Ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis involves covalent attachment of multiple ubiquitin molecules to the protein substrate and degradation of the targeted protein by the 26S proteasome. Recent understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved provides a framework to understand a wide variety of human pathophysiological states as well as therapeutic interventions. This review focuses on the response to hypoxia, inflammatory diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and muscle-wasting disorders, as well as human papillomaviruses, cervical cancer and other malignancies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
