When protein destruction runs amok, malignancy is on the loose.

Abstract excerpt

Ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis ensures that specific protein functions are turned off at the right time, in the right place, and in a unidirectional fashion. The high substrate specificity of the system is determined by a large family of ubiquitin ligases, which competes with the protein kinases to be the largest family of enzymes in mammals. Given the crucial function of the proteolytic machinery, altered...
