They can interact with proteasomes, but they are removed without signaling the turnover of a protein to which they are linked. This outcome (substrate stabilization rather than degradation) is of interest given the evidence that K6-linked chains are involved in DNA repair [36].

In addition, results presented in this paper suggest that a substantial fraction of the proteins in yeast cells are modified by ubiquitin.

Specifically, modifying PCNA with mono-Ub signals error-prone bypass of DNA lesions, while modification with a K63-linked chain signals an error-free mode of bypass.

The authors propose that the K63-linked chain acts as a scaffolding element for the assembly of a competent signaling complex.
