Abstract excerpt
Polyubiquitin chains assembled through lysine 48 (Lys-48) of ubiquitin act as a signal for substrate proteolysis by 26 S proteasomes, whereas chains assembled through Lys-63 play a mechanistically undefined role in post-replicative DNA repair. We showed previously that the products of the UBC13 and MMS2 genes function in error-free post-replicative DNA repair in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and form a...
