Abstract excerpt
Ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis plays a critical role in the degradation of proteins important in the cellular processes, such as cell cycle/division, differentiation and development, DNA repair, transcriptional regulation, and signaling. It is carried out by a complex cascade of enzymes that contain a high degree of specificity to motifs found in many proteins with rapid turnover. For example, the PEST motifs are...
