摘要: Abstract Polyubiquitination of proteins by Cdc34/SCF complexes targets them for degradation the 26S proteasome. The essential F-box protein Met30 is substrate recognition subunit ubiquitin ligase SCF . critical target transcription factor Met4, as deletion MET4 suppresses lethality met30 mutants. Surprisingly, Met4 a relatively stable and its abundance not influenced Met30. However, transcriptional repression genes correlates with Cdc34 /SCF -dependent ubiquitination Met4. Functionally, ubiquitinated associates promoters but fails to form functional complexes. Our data reveal novel proteolysis-independent function indicate that factors can be utilized directly regulate their activities.
