Polyubiquitin chains linked through different lysines of ubiquitin may exert both proteasome-
dependent and-independent functions. In a recent Cell issue, Xu et al. employ quantitative
proteomics to profile polyubiquitin linkages in yeast. They find that linkages through all
lysines of ubiquitin, except lysine-63, can target proteasomal degradation in vivo, and that
lysine-11 polyubiquitination is important for endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation
(ERAD).
