In most eukaryotic organisms, the ubiquitination pathway is one of the most important and versatile signaling systems in use. It is integral to processes such as protein degradation and homeostasis, DNA repair cell cycle regulation, signaling and regulation, epigenetics, and many more. Ubiquitin (Ub) is a short polypeptide of 8.6 kDa, 76 residues that functions as a reversible post-translation modification (PTM). It furthermore contains 7 different lysine residues (K6, K11, K27, K29, K33, K48, K63), all of which can form isopeptide linkages with one another to link individual Ub moieties to form unique polyUb chains onto substrates. The type of …
