Cbl-b is a RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets the p85 regulatory subunit of PI3K for ubiquitin conjugation. The RING finger of Cbl-b is essential for p85 ubiquitination. A distal C-terminal proline-rich region in Cbl-b contains the primary binding sequences for the SH3 domain of p85. Deletion of either the proline-rich region of Cbl-b or the SH3 domain of p85 severely reduces ubiquitination. |
