摘要
The involvement of the homologous to E6-AP carboxyl terminus (HECT)-type E3s in crucial signaling pathways implicated in tumorigenesis is presently an area of intense research and extensive scientific interest. This review highlights recent discoveries on the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of crucial tumor suppressor molecules catalyzed by the HECT-type E3s. By providing a portrait of their protein targets, we intend to link the substrate specificity of HECT-type E3s with their contribution to tumorigenesis. Moreover, we discuss the relevance of targeting the HECT E3s, through the development of small-molecule inhibitors, as an anticancer therapeutic strategy. © 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
