Deskripsi

TRAF6 is a RING E3 ligase that builds Lys63-linked ubiquitin chains. Here, the authors present the crystal structure of TRAF6 bound to the Ubc13~Ub conjugate, which, together with biochemical assays, reveals the role of the zinc finger domains and why RING dimerisation is required for TRAF6 activity.
