Dysregulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) has been implicated in a wide range of pathologies including cancer, neurodegeneration, and viral infection. Inhibiting the proteasome has been shown to be an effective therapeutic strategy in humans; yet toxicity with this target remains high. Ubiquitin Ligases (E3s) represent an alternative attractive therapeutic target in the UPS. Here we will discuss current platforms that report on E3 ligase activity and can detect E3 inhibitors, while underlining the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
