Protein regulation: tag wrestling with relatives of ubiquitin

Curr Biol. 1998 Oct 22;8(21):R749-52. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(07)00477-0.

Abstract

Ubiquitin modification is a well established way of regulating protein levels and activities. Modification by related ubiquitin-like proteins is turning out to have a diverse range of interesting cellular functions.
