Ubiquitin is a small protein that exists in all eukaryotic cells. It performs its myriad functions through conjugation to a large range of target proteins. A variety of different modifications can occur. The ubiquitin protein itself consists of 76 amino acids and has a molecular mass of about 8.5 kDa. Activation: Ubiquitin is activated in a two-step reaction by an E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme, which is dependent on ATP. 2  The initial step involves production of a ubiquitin-adenylate intermediate. 3  The E1 binds both ATP and ubiquitin and catalyses the acyl-adenylation of the C-terminus of the ubiqutin molecule.
Moon Jellyfish live up to a year on average in an enclosed, temperature controlled system, although with immaculate care they can live up to an additional year. In the wild, the moon jellyfish lifecycle takes one year to complete.
The answer is not as complicated as some people may think and yet the method is very effective, even fatal to the predator at times. All jellyfish have tentacles which they use to not only navigate and sometimes swim depending on the species but to also protect themselves from harm.These tentacles are used by the jellyfish to sting those who are preying on them.he answer is not as complicated as some people may think and yet the method is very effective, even fatal to the predator at times.
