WHAT DOES UBIQUITINATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ubiquitin

Ubiquitin is a small regulatory protein that has been found in almost all tissues of eukaryotic organisms. It was discovered in 1975 by Goldstein and further characterized throughout the 1970s and 1980s. There are four genes in the human genome that produce ubiquitin; UBB, UBC, UBA52 and RPS27A. Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification where ubiquitin is attached to a substrate protein. The addition of ubiquitin can affect proteins in many ways: It can signal for their degradation via the proteasome, alter their cellular location, affect their activity, and promote or prevent protein interactions. Ubiquitination is carried out in three main steps: activation, conjugation, and ligation, performed by ubiquitin-activating enzymes, ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, and ubiquitin ligases, respectively. The result of this sequential cascade binds ubiquitin to lysine residues on the protein substrate via an isopeptide bond or to the amino group of the protein's N-terminus via a peptide bond. The protein modifications can be either a single ubiquitin protein or chains of ubiquitin.

Definition of ubiquitination in the English dictionary

The definition of ubiquitination in the dictionary is the modification of a protein due to the attachment of a ubiquitin molecule.
