proteasome for degradation. Recently, ubiquitin-like modifications have also been described
in the archaeal domain of life. It has subsequently been hypothesized that ubiquitin-like
proteasomal degradation might also operate in these microbes, since all archaeal species
utilize homologues of the eukaryotic proteasome. Here we perform a structural and
biochemical analysis of a ubiquitin-like modification pathway in the archaeon Sulfolobus …
