Descriptor English: Ubiquitin-Protein Ligase Complexes
Descriptor Spanish: Complejos de Ubiquitina-Proteína Ligasa
Descriptor complejos ubicuitina-proteína ligasa
Scope note: Complejos de enzimas que catalizan la unión covalente de la UBICUITINA a otras proteínas formando una unión peptídica entre el C-terminal de GLICINA de la UBICUITINA y grupos alfa-amino de los residuos de LISINA de la proteína. Los complejos desempeñan una función importante en la degradación selectiva de proteínas anormales y de vida corta. El complejo enzimático se puede desagregar en tres componentes lo que implica la activación de la ubicuitina (ENZIMAS ACTIVADORAS DE LA UBICUITINA), conjugación de la ubicuitina al complejo ligasa (ENZIMAS DE CONJUGACIÓN DE LA UBICUITINA), y unión de la ubicuitina al sustrato proteico (UBICUITINA-PROTEÍNA LIGASAS).

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D043743
Scope note: Complexes of enzymes that catalyze the covalent attachment of UBIQUITIN to other proteins by forming a peptide bond between the C-terminal GLYCINE of UBIQUITIN and the alpha-amino groups of LYSINE residues in the protein. The complexes play an important role in mediating the selective-degradation of short-lived and abnormal proteins. The complex of enzymes can be broken down into three components that involve activation of ubiquitin (UBIQUITIN-ACTIVATING ENZYMES), conjugation of ubiquitin to the ligase complex (UBIQUITIN-CONJUGATING ENZYMES), and ligation of ubiquitin to the substrate protein (UBIQUITIN-PROTEIN LIGASES).
