This conjugate formation is the most important process in protein degradation as it officially targets the protein for degradation. Polyubiquitinylation refers to the addition of several ubiquitin molecules to a single lysine residue on a protein. Isopeptide bonds are formed between the carboxyl-terminus of one ubiquitin and a lysine residue on an adjacent ubiquitin. | This conjugate formation is the most important process in protein degradation as it officially targets the protein for degradation.
