ubiquitin

noun juːˈbɪkwɪtɪnyo͞oˈbikwidən
mass nounBiochemistry
  • A compound found in living cells which plays a role in the degradation of defective and superfluous proteins. It is a single-chain polypeptide.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • Ubiquitin is a 7.6kDa protein that is covalently attached to proteins targeted for degradation by ubiquitin ligases.
    • Ubp3 is a deubiquitination enzyme and a member of a large family of cysteine proteases that cleave ubiquitin moieties from protein substrates.
    • Comparison of simulations of the unfolding processes of protein L and ubiquitin suggests that these proteins unfold by a similar structural mechanism.
    • The protein is linked to a second protein, ubiquitin, when the cell detects that DNA damage has occurred.
    • This suggests that independent protein degradation pathways for ubiquitin, as well as for the proteasome complex, may exist in strawberry fruit.

Origin

1970s: from ubiquitous + -in1.
