Abstract excerpt
Ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes catalyse the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to target proteins. Members of this enzyme family are involved in strikingly diverse cellular functions: UBC2 (RAD6) is central to DNA repair, UBC3 (CDC34) is involved in cell cycle control. We have cloned the genes for two novel ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, UBC4 and UBC5, from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These enzymes mediate...
