The HIP2~ubiquitin conjugate forms a non-compact monomeric thioester during di-ubiquitin synthesis.

Polyubiquitination is a post-translational event used to control the degradation of damaged or unwanted proteins by modifying the target protein with a chain of ubiquitin molecules. One potential mechanism for the assembly of polyubiquitin chains involves the dimerization of an E2 conjugating enzyme...
