The N-end rule pathway is a proteolytic system in which destabilizing N-terminal residues of short-lived proteins act as degradation determinants (N-degrons). Substrates carrying N-degrons are recognized by N-recognins that mediate ubiquitylation-dependent selective proteolysis through the proteasome. Our previous studies identified mammalian N-recognin family consisting UBR1/E3α, UBR2, UBR4/p600, and UBR5, recognize UBR box. In current study, we addressed physiological function poorly...

Abstract For cells to exit from pluripotency and commit a lineage, the circuitry of core transcription factor (CTF) network must be extinguished in an orderly manner through epigenetic modifications. However, how this choreographed remodeling at active embryonic stem cell (ESC) genes occurs during differentiation is poorly understood. In study, we demonstrate that C-terminal binding protein 2 (Ctbp2) regulates nucleosome deacetylation (NuRD)-mediated H3K27 facilitates recruitment polycomb...

Lapatinib, a dual inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human 2 (HER2) tyrosine kinases, has shown promising results as HER2-positive cancer cells in vitro. However, similar to other EGFR-targeting drugs, acquired resistance lapatinib by remains major clinical challenge. To elucidate mechanisms EGFR/HER2-targeting agents, we performed systematic quantitative comparison the phosphoproteome lapatinib-resistant (LR) gastric (SNU216-LR) versus parental (SNU216) using titanium...

The N-end rule pathway is a proteolytic system in which single N-terminal amino acids of proteins act as class degrons (N-degrons) that determine the half-lives proteins. We have previously identified family mammals N-recognins (termed UBR1, UBR2, UBR4/p600, and UBR5/EDD) whose conserved UBR boxes bind N-degrons to facilitate substrate ubiquitination proteasomal degradation via ubiquitin-proteasome (UPS). Amongst these N-recognins, UBR1 UBR2 mediate proteolysis short-lived regulators...
