Structural complexity in ubiquitin recognition.
Ubiquitinated proteins are sorted into distinct pathways via association with several classes of ubiquitin binding domain-containing proteins. A virtual explosion in the field of ubiquitin binding proteins has revealed several new classes and interactions with distinct surfaces on ubiquitin, providing a clearer understanding of how sorting of ubiquitinated proteins is achieved.
