E2-EPF UCP targets pVHL for degradation and associates with tumor growth and metastasis
Article Abstract:
The von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor, pVHL, forms part of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that targets specific substrates for degradation hypoxia-inducible-1alpha, which is involved in tumor progression and angiogenesis. Study is presented to show that E2-EPF ubiquitin carrier protein (UCP) associates with and targets pVHL for ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis in cells, thereby stabilizing hypoxia-inducible-1alpha.
