发明名称 UBIQUITIN LIGASES, AND USES RELATED THERETO
摘要 <p>The present invention relates to the discovery in eukaryotic cells of ubiquitin ligases. These proteins are referred to herein collectively as 'pub' proteins for Protein UBiquitin ligase, and individually as h-pub1, h-pub2, h-pub3 and s-publ for the human pub1, pub2 and pub3 and Schizosaccharomyces pombe pub1 clones, repectively. Pub1 proteins apparently play a role in the ubiquitination of the mitotic activating tyrosine phosphatase cdc25, and thus they may regulate the progression of proliferation in eukaryotic cells by activating the cyclin dependent kinase complexes. In S. pombe, disruption of s-pub1 elevates the level of cdc25 protein in vivo increasing the activity of the tyrosine kinases, weel and mik1, required to arrest the cell-cycle. Loss of weel function in an S. pombe cell carrying a disruption in the s-pub1 gene results in a lethal premature entry into mitosis; such lethal phenotype can be rescued by the loss of cdc25 function. A ubiquitin thioester adduct of s-pub1 can be isolated from S. pombe and disruption of s-pub1 dramatically reduces ubiquitination of cdc25.</p>
