The ubiquitin system cover

In this supplement

The central role of ubiquitin in cell-cycle regulation, DNA repair, cell growth, signalling and immune function is starting to become clear right down to the molecular level. Identifying irregularities in the system has opened up opportunities in drug discovery, and in diagnostics and treatment for a range of disorders, from cancer to neurodegeneration.
