E.H. Eylar

E.H. Eylar, also known as Edwin H. Eylar, is a biochemist known for sequencing myelin basic protein and mapping the nine-residue site that induces experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.

E1 N-terminal domain

E1 N-terminal domain refers to several unrelated protein regions: the colicin E1 TolA-binding translocation domain, the papillomavirus E1 regulatory region, the HCV E1 ectodomain, the APP E1 domain, the MeCP2-E1 NTD, and ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1's NTD.

E2 binding

E2_bind (SMART SM001181, InterPro IPR014929) is a ubiquitin-like E2-binding domain on the NEDD8-activating E1 enzyme that recruits the E2 Ubc12 during neddylation.

E2F Family

The E2F family (E2F1–E2F8) is a group of transcription factors controlling cell cycle, apoptosis, and differentiation genes, regulated by RB pocket proteins, with activator (E2F1–3a) and repressor (E2F3b–8) classes.

E2F1

E2F1 (E2F transcription factor 1, gene ID 1869) is the founding member of the E2F transcription factor family, an RB-regulated activator driving G1/S cell-cycle genes, DNA repair, and apoptosis, with dual oncogenic and tumor-suppressive roles in cancer.

E2F2

E2F2 (E2F transcription factor 2, HGNC:3114) is a human activator E2F transcription factor that binds DP proteins and pRB, controls G1/S cell cycle progression, and acts as tumor suppressor in T cell lymphoma but oncogene in ovarian cancer.

E2F3

E2F3 (E2F transcription factor 3, HGNC:3115, 6p22.3) is a human gene encoding an E2F family cell-cycle transcription factor that binds pRB and DP proteins; it produces two isoforms, growth-regulated E2F3a and constitutive E2F3b, essential for proliferation and myogenic differentiation.

E2F4

E2F4 (E2F transcription factor 4), gene at human 16q22.1, is a repressive E2F family member that binds all three RB-family pocket proteins and, in the DREAM complex with p130 and the MuvB core, represses about 1000 cell cycle genes in G0; it also regulates cilia, adipogenesis, and stem cell differentiation.

E3 Ubiquitin ligase MUL1-like domain

E3 ubiquitin ligase MUL1-like domain (InterPro IPR022170): a modified C3HC5-type RING finger in mitochondrial outer-membrane ligase MUL1 (MULAN/MAPL/GIDE/HADES), which ubiquitinates MFN2, p53, AKT, ULK1 and SUMOylates Drp1, regulating mitochondrial dynamics, mitophagy, and apoptosis.

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase (ubiquitin ligase, E3): enzyme conferring substrate specificity in the E1-E2-E3 ubiquitination cascade. Classes RING, HECT, RBR, U-box; over 600 human E3s; targets of PROTACs and molecular glues.

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase CHFR

CHFR (checkpoint with forkhead-associated and RING finger domains, RNF196) is a human E3 ubiquitin ligase and antephase mitotic checkpoint protein; its loss by promoter hypermethylation is a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in colorectal, gastric, and other cancers.

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase FANCL

FANCL (PHF9, FA complementation group L) is the RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase of the Fanconi anemia core complex; with E2 UBE2T it monoubiquitinates FANCD2 K561 and FANCI K523 for interstrand cross-link repair.

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase HOS1

HOS1 (HIGH EXPRESSION OF OSMOTICALLY RESPONSIVE GENES 1) is an Arabidopsis RING finger E3 ubiquitin ligase that attenuates cold signaling by degrading ICE1, delays flowering by degrading CONSTANS, and acts non-proteolytically in FLC chromatin regulation, nuclear pore mRNA export, and circadian control.

E3N study

E3N (Étude Épidémiologique auprès de femmes de la MGEN) is a French prospective cohort of 98,995 women born 1925–1950, followed since 1990; French component of EPIC, studying lifestyle, diet, environment, and women's health, with the E3N-Générations family extension.

E4 protein

E4 protein (E1^E4), a late papillomavirus protein encoded within the E2 ORF; abundant in upper epithelium, binds and disrupts keratin, induces G2 arrest, aids genome amplification and virus release, and serves as an HPV infection biomarker.
