Functional reconstruction of a eukaryotic-like E1/E2/(RING) E3 ubiquitylation cascade from an uncultured archaeon

In eukaryotic cells, the ubiquitylation system regulates several cellular processes central to protein homoeostasis. Here the authors demonstrate the existence of an eukaryotic-like ubiquitylation cascade requiring E1, E2 and E3-like enzymes in the archaeon C. subterraneum, shedding light on the evo...
