摘要

In eukaryotic cells,ubiquitylation of proteins plays a critical role in regulating diverse cell processes by the ubiquitin activating enzyme(E1),ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme(E2),and ubiquitin protein ligase(E3).E3 is the key component that confers specificity to ubiquitylation and directs the conjugation of ubiquitin to a specific target protein.RING domains are small structured protein domains that require the coordination of zinc ions for a stable tertiary fold and some of them are involved in the E3 family.In this study,we reported the detailed relationships between the two zinc ions and the structural stability of the c-Cbl RING domain by molecular dynamics simulations.Our results show that these two zinc ions play an important role in maintaining both the secondary and tertiary structural stabilities of the c-Cbl RING domain.Our results also reveal that the secondary structural stability of the c-Cbl RING domain is mainly determined by the hydrogen-bonding networks in or near the two zinc ion binding sites.Our results further demonstrate that zinc ion binding site 2 is more structurally stable than site 1.
