RING-finger ubiquitin ligases elicit ubiquitination of their substrates, which is balanced by their self-ubiquitination. New insights into regulating the switch between these two modes are illustrated by the role of the adaptor protein Daxx (death domain-associated protein) in regulating the deubiquitinating enzyme HAUSP which, in turn, directs the ligase activity of Mdm2.
