MAPK6 is an unstable protein that is constitutively degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Degradation is promoted by two destabilization regions in the N-terminal region of MAPK6 which are required for the conjugation of ubiquitin to the free amino-terminal by an unknown ligase (Coulombe et al, 2003; Coulombe et al, 2004). Although in this reaction ubiquitination is depicted as occuring in the cytosol, it may also occur in the nucleus.
