Glossary
- ATPase
-
Enzymes that use ATP hydrolysis to yield energy to drive an energetically unfavorable reaction.
- Proteasome
-
A protein degradation complex which can digest a variety of proteins into short polypeptides and amino acids.
- Ubiquitination
-
A posttranslational modification involving the attachment of ubiquitin molecules to specific lysine residues in target proteins. Often this modification acts as a tag for the rapid cellular degradation of the protein by the proteasome.
- WD40 repeat
-
A poorly conserved motif consisting of a repeat sequence containing 40–60 amino acids, which usually contains a Trp-Asp (WD). Several consecutive repeats fold into a domain structure known as a β-propeller in which each section of the structure is a four-stranded β-sheet.
