NEDD8 (Neural precursor cell-Expressed Developmentally Down-regulated genes) is an ubiquitin-like protein which plays an important role in cell cycle control and embryogenesis (1). NEDD8 has been shown to conjugate to nuclear proteins in a manner analogous to ubiquination and sentrinization. The conjugation process is though to be catalyzed by thee enzymes; E1 (NEDD8-activation), E2 (NEDD8-conjugation) and E3 (NEDD8-ligation). NEDD8 is known to conjugate to Cul-4A and other cullins proteins via the carboxy-terminal Gly residue for ubiquitinylation (3) while NUB1 will negatively regulate its expression (4).
