Glycoregulation of E3(SCF) ubiquitin ligases in unicellular eukaryotes

Skp1 is an essential adaptor within the Skp1/Cul1/F-box (SCF) class of E3 polyubiquitin ligases that regulate protein degradation in all eukaryotes. Skp1 is also a target of a 5-enzyme glycosylation pathway in parasites and other unicellular eukaryotes. Glycosylation of Skp1 is contingent upon oxygen-dependent hydroxylation of a critical Pro residue by a homolog of the …

Christopher West named 2023 Distinguished Research Professor

Christopher West, head of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, a researcher in the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center and a member of CTEGD, belongs to a small group of internationally recognized parasite glycobiologists. His rigorous, transformative research explores cellular processes involving various structures, enzymes and roles of glycans, or sugar chains. His studies have …
