High impact information on HECTD1

  • Expression of Nedd4, a HECT domain-containing ubiquitin ligase, induces the disappearance of VEGF-R2 in cells, suggesting that Nedd4 is involved in VEGF-R2 degradation [1].
  • This is a HECT domain-containing ligase that was originally identified through its involvement in the E6-mediated degradation of the cellular tumour suppressor protein p53 [2].
  • The number of predicted E3s in the mammalian genome is exceeding 400 and is represented by two major subfamilies: HECT domain-containing E3s and RING finger-type E3s [3].
