additional information |
mutagenesis of key residues of E1 reveals that its conserved catalytic cysteine residue is essential for the formation of these poyubiquitin chains. Inactivation of the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 has no effect on the ability of E1 to catalyze ubiquitin chain formation, suggesting E1 is not only responsible for the activaton of ubiquitin but also for the direct extension of the lysine 48-linked polyubiquitin chain by the direct transfer of the ubiquitin-thiolester from the active site of E1 to the terminal Lys48 of the growing chain |

a lysine 48-linked polyubiquitin chain, assembled upon an internal lysine residue of a substrate protein, becomes the principle signal for recognition and target degradation by the 26S proteasome. E1 is not only essential for the initial ATP-dependent activation of ubiquitin in the ubiquitin degradtion pathway, but also capable of the catalytic extension of the polyubiquitin chain on a mono-ubiquitinated substrate |
