Product Advantages

Application

• To investigate enzymes that cleave this specific peptide linkage between two ubiquitin molecules.
• To better understand the mechanisms of ubiquitin-activating (E1) or ubiquitin-conjugating (E2) enzymes, ubiquitin-associated domains (UBA), or ubiquitin-interacting motifs (UIMs) among others.

Mitophagy (the autophagic processing of damaged mitochondria) via Parkin activation is mainly promoted by K6 and K63 linked chains. K6-linked ubiquitination is also a main contributor to the DNA damage response and acts as a DNA-binding enhancer during the innate immune system response. These chain types are also involved in protein stabilization and other non-degradative processes. These tetra-ubiquitin chains are generated from the enzymatic linkage of wild-type ubiquitin through lysine 6.
