Ubiquitin‐mediated proteolysis: biological regulation via destruction

A Ciechanover, A Orian, AL Schwartz - Bioessays, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
The ubiquitin proteolytic system plays an important role in a broad array of basic cellular
processes. Among these are regulation of cell cycle, modulation of the immune and …

The Fbw7 tumor suppressor regulates glycogen synthase kinase 3 phosphorylation-dependent c-Myc protein degradation

M Welcker, A Orian, J Jin, JA Grim… - Proceedings of the …, 2004 - National Acad Sciences
Myc proteins regulate cell growth and division and are implicated in a wide range of human
cancers. We show here that Fbw7, a component of the SCF Fbw7 ubiquitin ligase and a …

Genomic binding by the Drosophila Myc, Max, Mad/Mnt transcription factor network

A Orian, B Van Steensel, J Delrow… - Genes & …, 2003 - genesdev.cshlp.org
The Myc/Max/Mad transcription factor network is critically involved in cell behavior; however,
there is relatively little information on its genomic binding sites. We have employed the …

[HTML][HTML] SCFβ‐TrCP ubiquitin ligase‐mediated processing of NF‐κB p 105 requires phosphorylation of its C‐terminus by IκB kinase

A Orian, H Gonen, B Bercovich, I Fajerman… - The EMBO …, 2000 - embopress.org
Processing of the p105 precursor to form the active subunit p50 of the NF‐κB transcription
factor is a unique case in which the ubiquitin system is involved in limited processing rather …

Stimulation-dependent I kappa B alpha phosphorylation marks the NF-kappa B inhibitor for degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.

…, A Yaron, A Hatzubai, A Orian… - Proceedings of the …, 1995 - National Acad Sciences
The nuclear translocation of NF-kappa B follows the degradation of its inhibitor, I kappa B
alpha, an event coupled with stimulation-dependent inhibitor phosphorylation. Prevention of …

The ubiquitin‐mediated proteolytic pathway: Mode of action and clinical implications

A Ciechanover, A Orian… - Journal of cellular …, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
Proteolysis via the ubiquitin system plays important roles in a variety of basic cellular processes.
Among these are regulation of cell cycle and division, modulation of the immune and …

Histone deacetylase 6 binds polyubiquitin through its zinc finger (PAZ domain) and copurifies with deubiquitinating enzymes

SS Hook, A Orian, SM Cowley… - Proceedings of the …, 2002 - National Acad Sciences
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are thought to function as critical mediators of transcriptional
repression. However, the physiological targets and posttranslational modifications of the …

A nucleolar isoform of the Fbw7 ubiquitin ligase regulates c-Myc and cell size

M Welcker, A Orian, JA Grim, RN Eisenman… - Current Biology, 2004 - cell.com
The human tumor suppressor Fbw7/hCdc4 functions as a phosphoepitope-specific substrate
recognition component of SCF ubiquitin ligases [1] that catalyzes the ubiquitination of cyclin …

Myc-dependent regulation of ribosomal RNA synthesis during Drosophila development

SS Grewal, L Li, A Orian, RN Eisenman, BA Edgar - Nature cell biology, 2005 - nature.com
Regulating ribosome number is thought to control cellular growth 1 . Synthesis of ribosomal
RNA (rRNA) is a limiting step in ribosome biogenesis and rates of rRNA synthesis are …

Degradation of nuclear oncoproteins by the ubiquitin system in vitro.

…, B Bercovich, A Orian… - Proceedings of the …, 1991 - National Acad Sciences
Nuclear oncoproteins are among the most rapidly degraded intracellular proteins. Previous
work has implicated the ubiquitin-mediated proteolytic system in the turnover of short-lived …
