However, the biochemical characteristics and precise functions of IFT proteins remain unknown. Here, we report that MIP-T3, a human microtubule-interacting protein recently identified as a novel conserved component of the IFT complex, is an easily degradable protein in human cell lines. Protein degradation is mediated by the ubiquitin-proteasome system, and the C-terminus is required for ubiquitination and proteasome-mediated degradation of MIP-T3 protein. This study provides the first evidence for regulation of IFT protein stability., FEBS Letters, 585(6), pp.1350-1356; 2011}, pages = {1350--1356}, title = {The C-terminus of MIP-T3 protein is required for ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated degradation in human cells.}, volume = {585}, year = {2011} }
