General description

Ubiquitin is a highly conserved globular protein and has lysine in the surface. The C-terminal end comprises the Leu-Arg-Gly-Gly structural motif.

Application

Ubiquitin human can be used as a standard for mass spectrometry.
Ubiquitin human has been used in mono-ubiquitination of yeast proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and in in vitro ubiquitination assay of defective in mitotic arrest 1 (Dma1)
Ubiquitin, N-terminal FLAG-tagged can replace the ubiquitin in formation of poly-ubiquitin—protein conjugates. The FLAG tag enables separation and enrichment of the protein conjugates on anti-FLAG affinity columns and detection of conjugates in western blot by anti-FLAG antibodies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ubiquitin interacts with the lysine residue of proteins through its ε-amino group of the C-terminal glycine residue. Proteins interacting with ubiquitin either undergo mono-ubiquitination or multi-mono-ubiquitination via a three-step process. Ubiquitination regulates intracellular trafficking and protein degradation and an imbalance in the pathway is implicated in disorders.
Ubiquitin is a small regulatory protein present in eukaryote tissues. Exogenous ubiquitin can stimulate apoptosis in numerous cell lines. E7 protein of human papilloma virus-16 stimulates Retinoblastoma Protein degradation via Ubiquitin-Proteasome Pathway.

Ubiquitin is a small globular protein that has a considerable number of lysine residues on its surface. This results in a high surface entropy that precludes the formation of crystal-packing interactions. To date, only a few structures of the native

Protein ubiquitination and protein phosphorylation are two fundamental regulatory post-translational modifications controlling intracellular signalling events. However, the ubiquitin system is vastly more complex compared with phosphorylation. This is due to the ability of ubiquitin to form polymers, i.e. ubiquitin chains

Top-down proteomics, the analysis of intact proteins (instead of first digesting them to peptides), has the potential to become a powerful tool for mass spectrometric protein characterization. Requirements for extremely high mass resolution, accuracy, and ability to efficiently fragment large

Progression through the G(1) phase of the cell cycle is controlled by diverse cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) that might be associated to numerous cyclin isoforms. Given such complexity, regulation of cyclin degradation should be crucial for coordinating progression through the cell
