HECT Ubiquitin Ligase
HECT ubiquitin ligases are catalytic E3 enzymes that form a thioester intermediate with ubiquitin, allowing precise control of ubiquitin‑chain architecture. Through NEDD4‑family ligases, HERC proteins and HUWE1, the HECT class regulates receptor endocytosis, DNA‑damage signalling, proteostasis and diverse cellular stress responses.
