Ubiquitinylation Is Not an Absolute Requirement for Degradation of c-Jun Protein by the 26 S Proteasome

Abstract excerpt

Degradation of rapidly turned over cellular proteins is commonly thought to be energy dependent, to require tagging of protein substrates by multi-ubiquitin chains, and to involve the 26 S proteasome, which is the major neutral proteolytic activity in both the cytosol and the nucleus. The c-Jun oncoprotein is very unstable in vivo. Using cell-free degradation assays, we show that ubiquitinylation, along with...
