RING fingers mediate ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2)-dependent ubiquitination

KL Lorick, JP Jensen, S Fang… - Proceedings of the …, 1999 - National Acad Sciences
A RING finger-containing protein (AO7) that binds ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s) and
is a substrate for E2-dependent ubiquitination was identified. Mutations of cation …

Mdm2 is a RING finger-dependent ubiquitin protein ligase for itself and p53

S Fang, JP Jensen, RL Ludwig, KH Vousden… - Journal of Biological …, 2000 - ASBMB
Mdm2 has been shown to regulate p53 stability by targeting the p53 protein for proteasomal
degradation. We now report that Mdm2 is a ubiquitin protein ligase (E3) for p53 and that its …
