Abstract excerpt
Human thymidylate synthase (hTS; EC 2.1.1.45) is one of a small group of proteasomal substrates whose intracellular degradation occurs in a ubiquitin-independent manner. Previous studies have shown that proteolytic breakdown of the hTS polypeptide is directed by an intrinsically disordered 27-residue domain at the N-terminal end of the molecule. This domain, in co-operation with an α-helix spanning amino acids...
