Abstract excerpt
The RAD6 (UBC2) gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae which is involved in DNA repair, induced mutagenesis, and sporulation, encodes a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2). Since the RAD6 gene product can transfer ubiquitin directly to histones in vitro without the participation of a ubiquitin protein ligase (E3), it has been suggested that in vivo it also acts by the unassisted conjugation of ubiquitin to histones or to...
