Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a prevalent complication associated with diabetes in which podocyte dysfunction significantly contributes to the development and progression of the condition. Ring finger protein 183 (RNF183) is an ER-localized, transmembrane ring finger protein with classical E3 ligase activity. However, whether RNF183 is involved in glomerular podocyte dysfunction, which is the mechanism of action of DKD, is still poorly understood.

Membrane-associated RING-CH-type finger (MARCH) proteins, a class of E3 ubiquitin ligases, have been reported to be involved in the infection of multiple viruses and the regulation of type I interferon (IFN) production. However, the specific role and mechanisms by which MARCH proteins influence Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection remain poorly understood. Here, we systematically investigate the functional relevance of MARCH proteins in JEV replication by examining the effects of siRNA-mediated knockdown of MARCHs on viral infection.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are closely associated with human tumorigenesis; however, whether hsa_circ_0004846 serves a role in the progression of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) remains unclear. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of hsa_circ_0004846 on PTC. The results demonstrated that circ_0004846 was abnormally upregulated in PTC tissues and thyroid cancer cell lines (BCPAP, TPC-1 and IHH-4).

Unlabelled: , a wheat U-box E3 ligase gene, was isolated and characterized for its role in drought stress tolerance. The gene encodes a 531 amino acid protein with a U-box domain at the N-terminal and a WD40 domain at the C-terminal. Subcellular localization studies using TaPRP19-GFP fusion in confirmed predominant nucleus localization.

Mutations in the TP53 gene may lead to the loss of its tumor suppressor function and the acquisition of oncogenic properties. The enhanced stability of mutant p53 (mutp53) is one of the pivotal factors for its oncogenic functions, rendering proteins implicated in mutp53 stabilization as promising targets for therapeutic intervention. Although deubiquitinases (DUBs) are commonly deregulated in various cancers, their specific impact on mutp53 stabilization remains largely unexplored.
