Ubiquitination is a post translationnal modification where an ubiquitin is attached to a protein. This modification has several consequences, it can lead to the degradation of the protein via the proteasome, it can change the protein localization or it can alter the interaction of the protein with other factors, this is why this modification plays an important role in the control of many cellular processes. | Ubiquitination is a post translationnal modification where an ubiquitin is attached to a protein.
