Summary |
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nRecent studies have identified the RING finger E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF157 as a pivotal integrator of PI3K and MAPK signaling. Phosphorylation of RNF157—mediated not only downstream of these signaling pathways but also by cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2)—regulates its interaction with the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome activator CDH1, thereby controlling its ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation during the cell cycle. This modulation ensures that RNF157 functions in synchrony with cell cycle progression, particularly during key transitions."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nDisruption of the phosphorylation sites on RNF157 prevents its binding to CDH1, which in turn protects the protein from ubiquitination and subsequent degradation.
