Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotes use the ubiquitin-proteasome system to control the abundance of regulatory proteins such as cell-cycle proteins and transcription factors. Over 5% of the Arabidopsis genome encodes for proteins with an apparent functional homology to components of the ubiquitin-proteasome system. This suggests that ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis has a major role in plant growth and development. Consistent with this...
