[Utilization of targeting specific proteins for ubiquitination and degradation].
Ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) can degrade specific proteins in eukaryotic cells. Targeting specific proteins for ubiquitination and degradation technique, based the theory of UPP and using certain chimeric E3s or protein-targeting chimeric molecules, can specifically knock down the targeted proteins. It is a promising new method for exploring the functions of genes or proteins and, together with gene-silencing technique, may play an important role in basic and clinical research.
