Ubiquitin, a 76 amino acid protein, is covalently attached to abnormal and short-lived proteins, thus marking them for ATP-dependent proteolysis in eukaryotic cells. Free (unconjugated) ubiquitin was localized in hepatoma cells using affinity purified anti-ubiquitin antibodies and colloidal gold immunoelectron microscopy. The anti-ubiquitin antibodies recognize only unconjugated ubiquitin. Ubiquitin is found within the cytoplasm, nucleus, the microvilli, autophagic vacuoles and lysosomes.
泛素是一种由76个氨基酸组成的蛋白质,它会共价连接到异常和寿命较短的蛋白质上,从而在真核细胞中标记这些蛋白质以便进行依赖ATP的蛋白水解。使用亲和纯化的抗泛素抗体和胶体金免疫电子显微镜技术,在肝癌细胞中定位了游离(未结合)泛素。抗泛素抗体仅识别未结合的泛素。泛素存在于细胞质、细胞核、微绒毛、自噬泡和溶酶体中。
