Ubiquitination, the covalent attachment of ubiquitin molecules to target proteins, occurs rapidly and often reversibly, and regulates a vast array of protein-protein interactions that underlie cellular immune responses (1). Ubiquitination is best known for mediating protein interactions with degradative proteasomes, thereby dictating protein stability. This critical function was recognized by the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2004. Recent studies indicate that ubiquitination also mediates a broad array of non-proteolytic interactions between proteins that regulate protein trafficking, transcription factor complexes, and signal transduction (2). In this volume, the review articles utilize the lens of individual ubiquitin ligase enzymes that regulate ubiquitination of signaling proteins in immune cells.While other post-translational modifications typically alter proteins in a binary fashion (eg phosphorylated vs. non-phosphorylated), ubiquitination occurs in multiple biochemical conformations, thereby affording greater specification of protein fate. Ubiquitination involves chains of ubiquitin molecules linked via one of the seven lysines or the N-terminal methionine on ubiquitin. All eight conformations of ubiquitin chains exist in cells, and attachment of single ubiquitin molecules to target proteins has also been described. Importantly, the biochemical complexity of ubiquitination confers diverse biological consequences upon modified targets. Distinct types of polyubiquitin chains are recognized by different ubiquitin binding proteins, or ubiquitin sensors. For example, conjugation of proteins with K48-linked ubiquitin chains recruits degradative proteasomes, while proteins conjugated with K63-linked or M1-linked chains typically recruit other signaling proteins with the capacity to bind these chains (3, 4)(Fig. 1).
