Research summary
Ubiquitin (Ub) can form several types of ubiquitination linkages, including linear, mixed, or branched based on eight basic ubiquitination linkage types, whose linkage type and length of the ubiquitin chains determine the fate of the ubiquitinated proteins. To understand the details of ubiquitination signals, we will develop the Ub mimics, enabling the control of the spatial orientation of Ub chains based on the precisely controlled isosteric switching strategy. Mainly, we are interested in switching of isopeptide bond (Ub bond) with various alkenes such as (E)-methyl alkene and (Z)-chloroalkene to develop the alkene-type Ub bond isosteres. These studies provide the opportunity for future works, including the development of novel decoder molecules and deubiquitinase inhibitors.
