Abstract

E3 ubiquitin ligases play an essential role in protein ubiquitination, which is involved in the regulation of protein degradation, protein-protein interactions and signal transduction. Increasing evidences have shed light on the emerging roles of E3 ubiquitin ligases in B-cell development and related malignances. This comprehensive review summarizes the current understanding of E3 ubiquitin ligases in B-cell development and their contribution to B-cell malignances, which could help explore the molecular mechanism of normal B-cell development and provide potential therapeutic targets of the related diseases.

Keywords: B-cell development; B-cell malignancies; Ubiquitin ligase; Ubiquitination.
