The HECT family of E3 ubiquitin ligases: multiple players in cancer development.

Abstract:

:The involvement of the homologous to E6-AP carboxyl terminus (HECT)-type E3s in crucial signaling pathways implicated in tumorigenesis is presently an area of intense research and extensive scientific interest. This review highlights recent discoveries on the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of crucial tumor suppressor molecules catalyzed by the HECT-type E3s. By providing a portrait of their protein targets, we intend to link the substrate specificity of HECT-type E3s with their contribution to tumorigenesis. Moreover, we discuss the relevance of targeting the HECT E3s, through the development of small-molecule inhibitors, as an anticancer therapeutic strategy.

  • Escape from Cbl-mediated downregulation: a recurrent theme for oncogenic deregulation of receptor tyrosine kinases.

    abstract::Deregulation of growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) is linked to a large number of malignancies. This occurs through a variety of mechanisms that result in enhanced activity of the receptor. Considerable evidence now supports the idea that loss of negative regulation plays an important role in receptor dere...
