Classification and Function of E3 Ubiquitin Ligase in Plants
TIAN Aimei1*, YU Hui2, CAO Jiashu2
Protein ubiquitination mediates the degradation of specific proteins as an important posttranslation modification, which is widely involved in a series of life processes, such as plant growth and development, stress response, signal transduction, etc. E3 ubiquitin ligase can specifically recognize target proteins and play a decisive role in the ubiquitin pathway. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the function and mechanism of plant E3 ubiquitin ligase. In this paper, the progress in the classification and function of E3 ubiquitin ligase are reviewed in order to provide references for further exploring the regulation mechanism of E3 ubiquitin ligase in plants.
