Example sentences for: rbx

How can you use “rbx” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Biochemical studies identified SCF SKP2, an E3 that mediates p27 ubiquitylation in vitro [ 20 21 ] . This complex consists of at least four proteins: SKP1, CUL1, HRT1 (=RBX1/ROC1), and SKP2.

  • Based on the composition of known SCF complexes, we identified in the S. pombe genome database psh1 (pombe skp1 homologue) and pip1 (pop interacting protein 1), two genes encoding proteins with strong similarity to human SKP1 and HRT1/RBX1/ROC1, respectively (data not shown).

  • Studies in budding yeast identified SCF Cdc4p, an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that mediates the ubiquitylation of the CDK inhibitor Sic1p [ 3 4 ] . SCF Cdc4pconsists of at least four proteins: the cullin Cdc53p, the RING domain protein Hrt1p/Rbx1p/Roc1p, the adapter protein Skp1p, and Cdc4p (reviewed in [ 1 ] ). Cdc4p contains two sequence motifs, which are conserved in a wide variety of so-called F-box proteins: C-terminal WD-repeats that are involved in binding the substrate Sic1p in a phosphorylation-dependent manner, and a central F-box [ 5 ] that interacts with Skp1p [ 6 7 ] . Cdc53p in turn binds to Skp1p and Hrt1p/Rbx1p/Roc1p, which bridges Cdc53p with the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Cdc34p/Ubc3p [ 6 8 9 10 11 12 ] . In vitro reconstitution demonstrated that SCF Cdc4p, Cdc34p, E1, ubiquitin, and ATP are sufficient to mediate Sic1p polyubiquitylation [ 6 7 ] .

  • All human cullins interact with HRT1/RBX1/ROC1 [ 7], are modified by NEDD8 [ 8], and have ubiquitin ligase activity in vitro [ 9].

  • In line with this suggestion, it was previously demonstrated that HRT1/ROC1/RBX1 promotes nuclear accumulation of CUL1 [ 32 ] .
