The Emerging Role and Mechanism of E2/E3 Hybrid Enzyme UBE2O in Human Diseases.
Review in Biomedicines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays a pivotal role in determining protein fate, regulating signal transduction, and maintaining cellular homeostasis. Protein ubiquitination, a key post-translational modification, is orchestrated by the sequential actions of three primary enzymes, ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1), ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2), and ubiquitin protein ligase (E3), alongside the regulatory influence of deubiquitinases (DUBs) and various cofactors. The process begins with E1, which activates ubiquitin molecules. Subsequently, E2 receives the activated ubiquitin from E1 and transfers it to E3. E3, in turn, recognizes specific target proteins and facilitates the covalent attachment of ubiquitin from E2 to lysine residues on the target protein. Among the E2 enzymes, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2O (UBE2O) stands out as a unique E2-E3 hybrid enzyme. UBE2O directly mediates the ubiquitination of a wide array of substrates, including 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase catalytic subunit alpha-2 (AMPKα2), MAX interactor 1 (Mxi1), and v-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog (c-Maf), among others. In this narrative review, we will explore the structural characteristics of UBE2O and elucidate its molecular functions. Additionally, we will summarize recent advancements in understanding the role of UBE2O in various tumors, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and metabolic diseases. Finally, we will discuss the potential of targeting UBE2O as a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of human diseases.
