“…Ubiquitin itself has 7 lysine residues (K6, K11, K27, K29, K33, K48, and K63) along with its N-terminal methionine, resulting in the potential for multiple types of ubiquitin chains. Some of these linkages can be monomeric, polymeric, linked in tandem, branched, or even unanchored, with homogeneous or heterogeneous types of linkages [22,27,28]. In contrast to phosphorylation, multiple types of ubiquitin chains can be constructed and added to target proteins, which dramatically increases the amount of signaling information that can be encoded by ubiquitination.…”
