E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme UBA-1 plays multiple roles throughout C. elegans development.

Poly-ubiquitination of target proteins typically marks them for destruction via the proteasome and provides an essential mechanism for the dynamic control of protein levels. The E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme lies at the apex of the ubiquitination cascade, and its activity is necessary for all subse...
