Abstract
Ubiquitination is one of a major protein-modification systems conserved in all eukaryote. The ubiquitinated proteins are mainly degraded by 26S proteasome to be controlled the concentration of the proteins in the cells. Although the ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation is a significant machinery to regulate the various biological processes, less information has been reported in plant as contrast to animal and yeast.
Here, we inform some studies of protein ubiquitination. These studies were supported by a grant in-Aid for scientific researches for plant graduate students from Nara Institute of Science and Technology, supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan.
