Solution structures of two CCHC zinc fingers from the FOG family protein U-shaped that mediate protein–protein interactions. Insights into sequence-specific protein–DNA recognition. Structures of zinc finger domains from transcription factor Sp1. TAK1 is a ubiquitin-dependent kinase of MKK and IKK. Activation of the IκB kinase complex by TRAF6 requires a dimeric ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme complex and a unique polyubiquitin chain. Two RING finger proteins mediate cooperation between ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes in DNA repair. Ubiquitin enters the new millenium meeting review. Pw1/Peg3 is a potential cell death mediator and cooperates with Siah1a in p53-mediated apoptosis. hSiah2 is a new Vav binding protein which inhibits Vav-mediated signaling pathways. Siah-1 mediates a novel β-catenin degradation pathway linking p53 to the adenomatous polyposis coli protein. Siah-1, SIP, and Ebi collaborate in a novel pathway for β-catenin degradation linked to p53 responses. SIAH-1 interacts with α-tubulin and degrades the kinesin Kid by the proteasome pathway during mitosis. Proteasomal regulation of nuclear receptor corepressor-mediated repression. Siah-1 N-terminal RING domain is required for proteolysis function, and C-terminal sequences regulate oligomerization and binding to target proteins. Mammalian homologs of seven in absentia regulate DCC via the ubiquitin- proteasome pathway. p53-inducible human homologue of Drosophila seven in absentia (Siah) inhibits cell growth: suppression by BAG-1.

Seven in absentia, a gene required for specification of R7 cell fate in the Drosophila eye. Structure of a c-Cbl-UbcH7 complex: RING domain function in ubiquitin-protein ligases. The tyrosine kinase negative regulator c-Cbl as a RING-type, E2-dependent ubiquitin-protein ligase. RING fingers mediate ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2)-dependent ubiquitination. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway: on protein death and cell life. Therefore, Siah proteins share important similarities with the TRAF family of proteins, including their overall domain architecture, three-dimensional structure and functional activity.Ĭiechanover, A. We find that the Siah1a SBD potentiates TNF-α-mediated NF-κB activation. The Siah structure also reveals two novel zinc fingers in a region with sequence similarity to TRAF. The TRAF-C region interacts with TNF-α receptors and TNF-receptor associated death-domain (TRADD) proteins however, our findings indicate that these interactions are unlikely to be mimicked by Siah. The structure reveals that Siah is a dimeric protein and that the SBD adopts an eight-stranded β-sandwich fold that is highly similar to the TRAF-C region of TRAF (TNF-receptor associated factor) proteins. We have determined the crystal structure of the substrate-binding domain (SBD) of murine Siah1a to 2.6 Å resolution. Members of the Siah ( seven in absentia homolog) family of RING domain proteins are components of E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes that catalyze ubiquitination of proteins.
