MeSH definition : A ubiquitin-like protein that functions in CELL CYCLE regulation and embryogenesis.
It is attached covalently to its substrates following activation by the UBIQUITIN-ACTIVATING
ENZYME E1-UBA3 enzyme complex. NEDD8 attaches to CULLINS, activating their E3 UBIQUITIN
LIGASE activity, to promote polyubiquitination and degradation of CYCLINS and regulatory
proteins;
