The post-translational attachment of ubiquitin, a highly conserved 76-amino-acid polypeptide, directs myriad eukaryotic proteins to a variety of fates and functions. Ubiquitylation is best-known for targeting proteins for degradation by the 26S proteasome. Other functions include internalization and
