Abstract excerpt
Ligation of proteins to ubiquitin requires activation of ubiquitin by E1, the ubiquitin-activating enzyme. Mutant alleles of E1 in mammalian cells have been crucial for dissecting the contribution of the ubiquitin system to cell function. Comparable mutants have been unavailable for Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here we describe the isolation and characterization of a hypomorphic allele of S. cerevisiae E1. Protein...
