analysis | development of chemical probes, ubiquitin C-terminal fluorescein thioesters UbMES and UbFluor, to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the activity of the RBR E3 ligase PARKIN in a simple experimental setup and in real time using fluorescence polarization. UbFluor quantitatively detects naturally occurring activation states of parkin caused by Ser65 phosphorylation and phosphorylated ubiquitin | Homo sapiens |

physiological function | parkin does not require an E2 enzyme for substrate ubiquitination, lysine selection, and polyubiquitin chain formation. Both phosphorylated ubiquitin and the ubiquitin-accepting substrate contribute to maximal ubiquitin conjugation turnover of phosphorylated parkin. Phosphorylated ubiquitin enhances the transthiolation step, whereas the substrate clears the phosphorylated parkin-ubiquitin thioester intermediate | Homo sapiens |
