RC STRAIN=MHOM/IR/83/Lt252; RX MEDLINE=93380668; PubMed=8396548; DOI=10.1016/0378-1119(93)90687-X; RA Graeff G.R., Steele P.M., Peterson C.L., Bennett M.L., Langer P.J.; RT "Sequence of a Leishmania major gene encoding an ubiquitin fusion RT protein."; RL Gene 131:155-156(1993). CC -!- FUNCTION: Protein modifier which can be covalently attached to CC target lysines either as a monomer or as a lysine-linked polymer. CC Attachment to proteins as a Lys-48-linked polymer usually leads to CC their degradation by proteasome. Attachment to proteins as a CC monomer or as an alternatively linked polymer does not lead to CC proteasomal degradation and may be required for numerous CC fonctions, including maintenance of chromatin structure, CC regulation of gene expression, stress response, ribosome CC biogenesis and DNA repair (By similarity). CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: This protein is synthesized with ribosomal CEP52 as CC its C-terminal extension. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ubiquitin family.
