I Siah substrate!

Structure. 2006 Apr;14(4):627-8. doi: 10.1016/j.str.2006.03.003.

Abstract

Proteins are targeted to the E3 RING ubiquitin ligase Siah through a PxAxVxP degron motif. In this issue of Structure, House et al. (2006) present the structural basis by which Siah recognizes its degron with high affinity and specificity.
