Abstract
HECT E3 ubiquitin ligases selectively recognize, bind, and ubiquitylate their substrate proteins to target them for 26S proteasomal degradation. There is increasing evidence that HECT E3 ubiquitin ligase dysfunction due to misfolding and/or the gene encoding the protein being mutated is responsible for the development of different diseases. Apart from the more prominent and well-characterized E6AP and members of the NEDD4 family, new studies have begun to reveal how other members of the HECT E3 ubiquitin ligase family function as well as their links to disease and developmental disorders. This chapter provides a comprehensive discussion on the more mysterious members of the HECT E3 ubiquitin ligase family and how they control intracellular processes. Specifically, AREL1, HACE1, HECTD1, HECTD4, G2E3, and TRIP12 will be examined as these enzymes have recently been identified as contributors to disease development.
