Ubiquitination by a Single Enzyme

Summary

Researchers at Purdue University have demonstrated that L. pneumophila can override ubiquitination signaling in host cells with its own enzymes, including members of the SidE effector family. While ubiquitination is generally catalyzed by a cascade requiring the E1, E2, and E3 enzymes, members of the SidE family of bacterial enzymes are capable of performing ubiquitination independent of this cascade. Following this discovery of ubiquitination catalyzed by a single enzyme, this enzyme, SidE, and various SidE constructs hold promise as new tools for research and development in biotechnology.
