Abstract excerpt
Conjugation of ubiquitin and other Class 1 ubiquitin-like polypeptides to specific protein targets serves diverse regulatory functions in eukaryotes. The obligatory first step of conjugation requires ATP-coupled activation of the ubiquitin-like protein by members of a superfamily of evolutionarily related enzymes. Kinetic and equilibrium studies of the human ubiquitin-activating enzyme (HsUba1a) reveal that...
