Protein modification by ubiquitin or the ubiquitin-like proteins has been implicated in a variety of cellular processes including proteasomal degradation, cell signaling, gene transcription, DNA repair, and protein localization. The nature, location, and extent of these posttranslational modifications appear to influence their cellular fate. Recent evidence that small molecule inhibitors of the proteasome can be used in the treatment of human cancers has launched intensive efforts to discover new drugs that will selectively inhibit the activities of disease-specific components of the ubiquitin pathway. It has also stimulated the development of new tools for helping to better understand the complex mechanisms surrounding ubiquitin.

Join our panel of experts to:
Learn more about the role of ubiquitin in cellular processes.
Find out the latest about efforts to find new drugs that target the ubiquitin pathway.
Hear about the successful application of protein microarray technology for discovering new substrates for ubiquitin ligases.
Have your questions answered by the experts live and in real time.
