Abstract excerpt
Mouse ODC (ornithine decarboxylase) is quickly degraded by the 26S proteasome in mammalian and fungal cells. Its degradation is independent of ubiquitin but requires a degradation signal composed of residues 425-461 at the ODC C-terminus, cODC (the last 37 amino acids of the ODC C-terminus). Mutational analysis of cODC revealed the presence of two essential elements in the degradation signal. The first consists...
