The family of seven-in-absentia (SIAH) ubiquitin E3 ligases functions in the control of numerous key signaling pathways. These enzymes belong to the RING (really interesting new gene) group of E3 ligases and mediate the attachment of ubiquitin chains to substrates, which then leads to their proteasomal degradation. Here, we describe a protocol that allows measuring SIAH-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of its client proteins as exemplified by acetyl transferases using simple overexpression experiments. The impact of SIAH expression on the relative amounts of target proteins and their mRNAs can be quantified by Western blotting and quantitative PCR (qPCR) as described here.

SIAH3 is frequently epigenetically silenced in cancer and regulates mitochondrial metabolism.
Int J Cancer
January 2025
Institute for Genetics, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, Giessen, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- SIAH3, a member of the SIAH family in humans, is often silenced in various cancers like melanoma and lung adenocarcinoma, leading to worse survival for patients.
- Inducing SIAH3 expression can decrease cancer cell growth and trigger cell death, as it shifts cellular energy production from aerobic metabolism to glycolysis.
- SIAH3 is found in mitochondria and interacts with proteins related to mitochondrial function and other ubiquitin ligases, suggesting it plays a role as a tumor suppressor by regulating metabolism.
CSP7 Protects Alveolar Epithelial Cells by Targeting -Fibrinolytic Pathways During Lung Injuries.

Impaired alveolar epithelial regeneration in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is attributed to telomere dysfunction in type II alveolar epithelial cells (ACs). Genetic susceptibility, aging, and toxicant exposures, including tobacco smoke (TS), contribute to telomere dysfunction in ACs. Here we investigated whether improvement of telomere function plays a role in CSP7-mediated protection of ACs against ongoing senescence and apoptosis during bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis (PF) as well as alveolar injury caused by chronic TS exposure.

- Siah E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (SIAH1) is linked to the development of stomach cancer and is found in higher amounts in patients with a bad prognosis.
- When SIAH1 is turned down, stomach cancer cells can't move and invade as much because it affects a protein called MMP9.
- SIAH1 makes another protein called RECK break down faster, which helps SIAH1 boost the movement and invasion of cancer cells.
Reactive Oxygen Species Induction by Hepatitis B Virus: Implications for Viral Replication in p53-Positive Human Hepatoma Cells.
Int J Mol Sci

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infects approximately 300 million people worldwide, causing chronic infections. The HBV X protein (HBx) is crucial for viral replication and induces reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to cellular damage. This study explores the relationship between HBx-induced ROS, p53 activation, and HBV replication.

Unlabelled: Nucleoprotein (N) is well known for its function in the encapsidation of the genomic RNAs of negative-strand RNA viruses, which leads to the formation of ribonucleoproteins that serve as templates for viral transcription and replication. However, the function of the N protein in other aspects during viral infection is far from clear. In this study, the N protein of snakehead vesiculovirus (SHVV), a kind of fish rhabdovirus, was proved to be ubiquitinated mainly via K63-linked ubiquitination.
