Abstract excerpt
Ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis is a major pathway for selective protein degradation in eukaryotic cells. This proteolysis pathway involves the processive covalent attachment of ubiquitin to proteolytic substrates and their subsequent degradation by a specific ATP-dependent protease complex. We have cloned the genes and characterized the function of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (UBCs) from the yeast Saccharomyces...
