In much the same way that kinases and phosphatases attach and remove phosphate groups from proteins to modulate their activity, there are a series of enzymes (E1, E2, E3) that add one or more ubiquitins onto a protein, as well as enzymes that remove them (deubiquitinases; DUBs), thereby regulating their…
