Ubiquitin

spinqualitylabelsall models Human ubiquitin (green) complex with ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 (deep sky blue), 3k9p Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image   Print3D Function Ubiquitin (UBB) is found in almost all cells. It binds to proteins tagging them for destruction in the proteasome. UBB is activated by the UBB-activating enzymes E1, E2 and E3. UBB+1 is a frameshifted mutant of UBB observed in several diseases. A dimer of UBB (DiUBB) is formed by linkage of K48 to the C-terminus of a second UBB molecule. At least 4 UBB molecules are needed to tag a protein for the proteasome. Human ubiquitin interactions with ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 (3k9p). For details see Ubiquitin Structure & Function Ubiquitin salt bridge discussion Ubiquitin chains. Additional Resources See also: Tumor susceptibility gene 101 SUMO Disease The UBB-proteasome system deregulation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson disease, Huntington disease, Prion-like lethal disorders and in genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis, angelman's syndrome, Liddle syndrome and many cancers.
