FK506- and rapamycin-binding proteins (FKBPs) constitute a family of receptors for the two immunosuppressants which inhibit T-cell proliferation by arresting two distinct cytoplasmic signal transmission pathways. PPIases accelerate the folding of proteins.
Recombinant proteins were used to profile substrate ubiquitination by the Smurf1 ubiquitin ligase on a global scale using protein microarrays. T Proteins ubiquitinated on the protein microarray were confirmed as potential substrates of the Smurf1 activity using an off chip in vitro ubiquitination assay.
