Abstract excerpt
In eukaryotes, both natural and engineered fusions of ubiquitin to itself or other proteins are cleaved by processing proteases after the last (Gly76) residue of ubiquitin. Using the method of sib selection, and taking advantage of the fact that bacteria such as Escherichia coli lack ubiquitin-specific enzymes, we have cloned a gene, named UBP1, of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that encodes a...
