Ubiquitin becomes ubiquitous in cancer

Abstract excerpt

By virtue of its ability to regulate both protein turnover and non-proteolytic signalling functions, ubiquitin protein conjugation has been implicated in the control of multiple cellular processes, including protein localization, cell cycle control, transcription regulation, DNA damage repair, and endocytosis. Ubiquitin metabolism enzymes have been identified as either oncogenes or tumor suppressors in a variety...
