Proposed article title: Release of RING from Cullin by NEDD8ylation

Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate

At right is a morph [1] [2] from a Cullin-RING ligase complex (3dpl) to the same complex after NEDD8ylation (covalent addition of the NEDD8 ubiquitin-like chain to LysXXX of Cullin; 3dqv). NEDD8 binds and rotates the C-terminal domain of Cullin, releasing the folded RING domain from its Cullin-binding site. RING remains attached to Cullin by the RING N-terminus which remains embedded in Cullin.
