Abstract

Background: Although the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is thought to regulate the level of SOX9, the ubiquitin ligase involved has not yet been determined. Results: E6-AP/UBE3A was found to bind and ubiquitinate SOX9. Conclusion: E6-AP/UBE3A functions as a ubiquitin ligase toward SOX9 both in vitro and in vivo. Significance: These data provide the regulatory mechanism of the SOX9 level in chondrocytes by ubiquitin ligase.
