Abstract
E2 enzymes catalyze the ATP-dependent polymerization of polyubiquitin chains which function as molecular signals in the regulation of numerous cellular processes. Here we present a method that uses genetically encoded unnatural amino acids to halt and re-start ubiquitin polymerization providing access to natural-linkage, precision-length ubiquitin chains that can be used for biochemical, structural, and dynamics studies.Entities:
