It is a single-chain polypeptide.This suggests that independent protein degradation pathways for ubiquitin, as well as for the proteasome complex, may exist in strawberry fruit....- The protein is linked to a second protein, ubiquitin, when the cell detects that DNA damage has occurred.
- Ubp3 is a deubiquitination enzyme and a member of a large family of cysteine proteases that cleave ubiquitin moieties from protein substrates.
Origin 1970s: from ubiquitous + -in1. |
