abstract：:Covalent conjugation of the ubiquitin tag to cellular proteins plays a central role in a number of processes, the most notable among them being degradation by the 26S proteasome. A fundamental property of this process is that ubiquitination, in contrast to subsequent degradation, is reversible due to a number of deubi...
