SCF Ligases and Their Functions in Oogenesis and Embryogenesis-Summary of the Most Important Findings throughout the Animal Kingdom

Zusammenfassung: | SCF-dependent proteolysis was first discovered via genetic screening of budding yeast almost 25 years ago. In recent years, more and more functions of SCF (Skp1-Cullin 1-F-box) ligases have been described, and we can expect the number of studies on this topic to increase. SCF ligases, which are E3 ubiquitin multi-protein enzymes, catalyse protein ubiquitination and thus allow protein degradation mediated by the 26S proteasome. They play a crucial role in the degradation of cell cycle regulators, regulation of the DNA repair and centrosome cycle and play an important role in several diseases. SCF ligases seem to be needed during all phases of development, from oocyte formation through fertilization, activation of the embryonic genome to embryo implantation. In this review, we summarize known data on SCF ligase-mediated degradation during oogenesis and embryogenesis. In particular, SCF
and SCF
are among the most important and best researched ligases during early development. SCF
is crucial for the oogenesis of
and mouse and also in
and
embryogenesis. SCF
participates in the degradation of several RNA-binding proteins and thereby affects the regulation of gene expression during the meiosis of
. Nevertheless, a large number of SCF ligases that are primarily involved in embryogenesis remain to be elucidated. |
