Descriptions
(Annotation based on sequence homology with Q9HAU4)
Ubiquitination of proteins is an abundant modification that controls numerous cellular processes. The C2-WW-HECT-domain E3 Smurf2 downregulates transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling by targeting itself, the adaptor protein Smad7, and TGF-β receptor kinases for degradation. The intramolecular interaction between C2 phospholipid binding domain and HECT domain inhibits the catalytic activity of the HECT domain by obstructing accessibility of the catalytic cysteine of the HECT domain and thus blocking Smurf2-Ub thioester formation. The autoinhibition is relieved by the binding of HECT-binding domain of Smad7.

Name | Definition |
---|---|
axon | The long process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses, usually away from the cell body to the terminals and varicosities, which are sites of storage and release of neurotransmitter. |
cytoplasm | The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. |
cytosol | The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes. |
mitochondrion | A semiautonomous, self replicating organelle that occurs in varying numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. It is notably the site of tissue respiration. |
neuronal cell body | The portion of a neuron that includes the nucleus, but excludes cell projections such as axons and dendrites. |
plasma membrane | The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. |

I-SMAD binding | Binding to an inhibitory SMAD signaling protein. |
R-SMAD binding | Binding to a receptor-regulated SMAD signaling protein. |
ubiquitin protein ligase activity | Catalysis of the transfer of ubiquitin to a substrate protein via the reaction X-ubiquitin + S -> X + S-ubiquitin, where X is either an E2 or E3 enzyme, the X-ubiquitin linkage is a thioester bond, and the S-ubiquitin linkage is an amide bond: an isopeptide bond between the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin and the epsilon-amino group of lysine residues in the substrate or, in the linear extension of ubiquitin chains, a peptide bond the between the C-terminal glycine and N-terminal methionine of ubiquitin residues. |
ubiquitin-protein transferase activity | Catalysis of the transfer of ubiquitin from one protein to another via the reaction X-Ub + Y --> Y-Ub + X, where both X-Ub and Y-Ub are covalent linkages. |
