Abstract excerpt
The post-translational modifier ubiquitin is generated exclusively by proteolytic cleavage of precursor proteins. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cleavage of the linear precursor proteins releases ubiquitin and the C-terminally fused ribosomal proteins Rpl40 (Ubi1/2 precursor) and Rps31 (Ubi3 precursor), which are part of mature 60S and 40S ribosomal subunits respectively. In this study, we analysed the effects of...
