Abstract
Transcription factors are often targeted for rapid degradation by the ubiqu itin-proteasome system. Recent evidence points to a correlation between the potency and instability of transcriptional activators, suggesting a possib le direct role for ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis in transcriptional activ ation.
