Description
Biochemists and related specialists from around the world explore the ubiquitin system, now known to be involved in basic biological processes such as the control of cell division, signal transduction, the regulation of transcription, DNA repair, quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum, apoptosis, embryonic development, circadian clocks, and who knows what else at night and on weekends when the scientists are at home. The topics include the evolutionary origin of the activation step during ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation, RING fingers and relatives as determiners of protein fate, ubiquitin- conjugating enzymes, the structural biology of ubiquitin-protein ligases, and the crucial 26S proteasome.
