Atypical ubiquitylation in yeast targets lysine-less Asi2 for proteasomal degradation.

Abstract excerpt

Proteins are typically targeted for proteasomal degradation by the attachment of a polyubiquitin chain to ϵ-amino groups of lysine residues. Non-lysine ubiquitylation of proteasomal substrates has been considered an atypical and rare event limited to complex eukaryotes. Here we report that a fully functional lysine-less mutant of an inner nuclear membrane protein in yeast, Asi2, is polyubiquitylated and targeted...
