Ubiquitin-B Definition
Encoded by human UBB Gene, highly conserved 76-aa 8.6-kDa nuclear and cytoplasmic Ubiquitin B is synthesized as a polyubiquitin precursor with head to tail repeats and involved in selective ATP-dependent nonlysosomal degradation of cellular proteins, histone modification, maintenance of chromatin structure, regulation of gene expression, stress response, and ribosome biogenesis. UBB appears to be covalently bound to proteins as a marker for degradation, but also binds to histone H2A in actively transcribed regions and does not cause histone H2A degradation; UBB may be involved in regulation of gene expression.
