Ubiquitination involved enzymes and cancer
2014
Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification process that regulates multiple cell functions. It also plays important roles in the development of cancer. Mechanistically, ubiquitination is a complex process that is comprised of a series of events involving ubiquitin-activating enzymes, ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes and ubiquitin ligases. In general, covalent attachment of ubiquitin to the target proteins marks them for degradation. Dysregulation of the ubiquitination process may cause carcinogenesis. In this review, we summarize recent developments in understanding the relationship between ubiquitination enzymes and carcinogenesis.
