Summary:Ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent proteolysis is central to an incredible multitude of processes in all eukaryotes, which includes: the cell cycle; cell growth and differentiation; embryogenesis; apoptosis; signal transduction; DNA repair; regulation of transcription and DNA replication; transmembrane transport; endocytosis; stress responses; antigen presentation and other aspects of the immune response; the functions of the nervous system including circadian rhythms; axon guidance and acquisition of memory. This book tells the story of the ubiquitin system as we currently know it: from the regulation of basic cellular processes to quality control and the pathogenetic mechanisms of disease, from X-ray crystallography of the 26S proteasome to the interaction between substrates and their ligases, to the development of mechanism-based drugs, and to target-specific aberrant processes
