Abstract excerpt
Oligomeric ubiquitin structures (i.e. ubiquitin "chains") may be formed through any of seven different lysine residues in the polypeptide, or via the amine group of Met 1. Different types of ubiquitin chains can confer very different biological outcomes to a protein substrate, yet the structural characteristics of E2s and E3s that determine ubiquitin linkage specificity remain poorly understood. In vitro...
