The addition of ubiquitin to any substrate protein is called ubiquitination. Ubiquitination occur in different ways:
1. It binds to lysine residues through iso-peptide bond
2. Cysteine residues through a thioester bond
3. Serine and threonine residues through an ester bond
4. Amino group of the protein's N-terminus via a peptide bond
The addition of Ubiquitin involves three distinct protein working in a series.
First, E1- Ubiquitin activating enzyme uses the energy of ATP to covalently attach its C-terminal residue to cysteine residue of E1 protein.
Second, Activated ubiquitin is transferred to cysteine residue of another enzyme called E2- Ubiquitin conjugating enzyme.
Finally, ubiquitin is transferred to substrate protein by another enzyme called E3- ubiquitin ligase.
In vertebrates, there are two types of E1, fifty types of E2 and, several hundred types of E3 ligages present.
Deubiquitinases (DUBs) is the enzyme which mediate the removal of ubiquitin. Approximately, 80 DUBs are known in human genome. This enzyme mediate the lysis of bond between lysine of protein substrate protein and C terminal residue of ubiquitin.
On which residues does ubiquitylation occur? what family of enzymes mediate its addition and its removal?
What is receptor editing, when does it occur, and what enzymes are involved.
Which of the following particles does not mediate the weak interaction? W+ W- π0 Z0 All of these choices mediate this interaction.
In addition to being essential within living organisms, enzymes are also used in many of the products we use! Check your cleaning supplies at home, do any of them list enzymes on the ingredient list? If so, does it say which type of enzyme? Does any of the other products you use contain enzymes? What type of enzymes are used in industry? Which enzymes are found in the food we eat? After doing some research, choose and describe one...
Which of the following is evidence that proteoglycans mediate cell growth processes? A] Heparin and heparin sulfate are known to inhibit cell proliferation in a process involving internalization of the glycosaminoglycan moiety and its migration to the cell nucleus. B] Fibroblast growth factor binds tightly to heparin and the heparin-growth factor complex protects the growth factor from degradative enzymes. C] Transforming growth factor β has been shown to stimulate the synthesis and secretion of proteoglycans in certain cells. D] Several...

Thioredoxin is a protein involved in the regulation of some Calvin cycle enzymes. Determine which statements accurately describe the regulation of some enzymes by thioredoxin. 1) Ferredoxin-thioredoxin reductase catalyzes the reduction of thioredoxin. 2) Thioredoxin transfers electrons from photosystem II to ferredoxin. 3) Thioredoxin is in its reduced form when light is available. 4) Activated thioredoxin cleaves disulfide bonds in some Calvin cycle enzymes. 5) Active thioredoxin has a disulfide bond between two cycteine residues.
What is fermentation? Under what conditions does it occur? What is its purpose? Describe the major differences between anaerobic and aerobic respiration in terms of reactions, products, and energy yield. Yeast is capable of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, but frequently performs anaerobic respiration regardless of the oxygen content of its environment. What advantage might this provide the yeast?
