Substrate-binding destabilizes the hydrophobic cluster to relieve the autoinhibition of bacterial ubiquitin ligase IpaH9.8

Ye, Xiong et al. present crystal structures of bacterial E3 ubiquitin ligase IpaH9.8 and IpaH9.8LRR–hGBP1. They find that substrate-binding destabilizes the hydrophobic cluster to relieve the autoinhibition of IpaH9.8. This study provides insights into the mechanisms underlying substrate-induced act...
