Proteinmodification by ubiquitin or the ubiquitin-like proteinshas been implicated in a variety of cellular processes includingproteosomal degradation, cell signaling, gene transcription, DNArepair, and protein localization. The nature, location, and extentof these posttranslational modifications appear to influence theircellular fate. Recent evidence that small molecule inhibitors ofthe proteasome can be used in the treatment of human cancershas launched intensive efforts to discover new drugs that willselectively inhibit the activities of disease-specific components ofthe ubiquitin pathway. It has also stimulated the development ofnew tools to help to better understand the complexmechanismssurrounding ubiquitin.

Webinar sponsored by Invitrogen

Youwill meetwith a panel of experts to:

• Learnmore about the role of ubiquitin in cellular processes.

• Find out the latest about efforts to find new drugs that targetthe ubiquitin pathway.

• Hear about the successful application of proteinmicroarraytechnology for discovering new substrates for ubiquitin ligases.

• Have your questions answered by the experts live and inreal time.
