The ubiquilin gene family: evolutionary patterns and functional insights
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ubiquilins are proteins that function as ubiquitin receptors in eukaryotes. Mutations in two ubiquilin-encoding genes have been linked to the genesis of neurodegenerative diseases. However, ubiquilin functions are still poorly understood. RESULTS: In this study, evolutionary and functional data are combined to determine the origin and diversification of the ubiquilin gene family and to characterize...
