As a result, these enzymes play an important role being implicated in the regulation of '''protein degradation'''. Indeed, the pathway for a protein to be degraded involves, an enzymatic cascade that will add a poly-ubiquitin fragment to the protein. This mechanism is called [https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubiquitination ubiquitination(fr)] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubiquitin#Ubiquitylation (en)]. Following this step, mono or poly-ubiquitin is by deubiquitinases from the protein. | ||
