ubiquitin proteasome degradation modification
Overview
Ubiquitination attaches ubiquitin to lysine residues, targeting proteins for proteasomal degradation or modulating signaling.
Chain Types
- K48-linked: Proteasomal degradation signal
- K63-linked: Signal transduction and DNA repair
- Linear/M1: NF-kB signaling
- Monoubiquitination: Endocytosis and histone regulation
Biological Significance
The ubiquitin-proteasome system is a major drug target. Proteasome inhibitors (bortezomib) treat multiple myeloma.
