A new twist on clock protein phosphorylation: a conformational change leads to protein degradation.

Abstract:

:Progressive phosphorylation of circadian clock proteins is a hallmark of time-keeping. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Querfurth et al. (2011) demonstrate that phosphorylation of Neurospora FRQ induces a conformational change, which can account for its temporally gated degradation.

  • The unique N terminus of the UbcH10 E2 enzyme controls the threshold for APC activation and enhances checkpoint regulation of the APC.

    abstract::In vitro, the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) E3 ligase functions with E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes of the E2-C and Ubc4/5 families to ubiquitinate substrates. However, only the use of the E2-C family, notably UbcH10, is genetically well validated. Here, we biochemically demonstrate preferential use of UbcH10 by ...
