Abstract excerpt
The ubiquitin-like protein Nedd8/Rub1 covalently modifies and activates cullin ubiquitin ligases. However, the repertoire of Nedd8-modified proteins and the regulation of protein neddylation status are not clear. The cysteine protease DEN1/NEDP1 specifically processes the Nedd8 precursor and has been suggested to deconjugate Nedd8 from cullin proteins. By characterizing the Drosophila DEN1 protein and DEN1 null...
