Abstract
Protein degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is essential for life. Degradation of enzymes and other regulatory proteins like activators or inhibitors is crucial for a multitude of cellular processes. Prominent examples are cell cycle progression or regulation of metabolic pathways. Furthermore, elimination of misfolded proteins is essential to prevent disturbance of cell functions.
