Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are crucial for providing plants with the metabolic flexibility needed to regulate cellular signaling during development and stress responses. Ubiquitination, a key PTM, is mediated by E3 ubiquitin ligases, including the Plant U-box (PUB) protein family. PUBs have been implicated in diverse processes such as development, self-incompatibility, cell cycle regulation, and stress and immune responses in various plant species. This review highlights the functional diversity of PUBs, exploring their mechanisms of action, classification based on domains, and tissue-specific expression. By synthesizing current knowledge, this review aims to enhance understanding of how PUBs integrate environmental signals with internal regulatory systems to support plant growth and reproduction.
期刊介绍:
Plant & Cell Physiology (PCP) was established in 1959 and is the official journal of the Japanese Society of Plant Physiologists (JSPP). The title reflects the journal''s original interest and scope to encompass research not just at the whole-organism level but also at the cellular and subcellular levels.
Amongst the broad range of topics covered by this international journal, readers will find the very best original research on plant physiology, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular genetics, epigenetics, biotechnology, bioinformatics and –omics; as well as how plants respond to and interact with their environment (abiotic and biotic factors), and the biology of photosynthetic microorganisms.
