Overexpression of GmUBC9 Gene Enhances Plant Drought Resistance and Affects Flowering Time via Histone H2B Monoubiquitination.

ABSTRACT: Ubiquitylation is a form of post-translational modification of proteins that can alter localization, functionality, degradation, or transcriptional activity within a cell. E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (UBC) and E3 ubiquitin ligases are the primary determinants of substrate specificity in the context of ubiquitin conjugation. Multiubiquitination modifies target proteins for 26S proteasome degradation, while monoubiquitination controls protein activation and localization. At present, research on the monoubiquitination, especially histone monoubiquitination, has mostly focused on model plants with relatively few on crop species. In this study, we identified 91 UBC-like genes in soybean. The chromosomal localization, phylogenetic relationships, gene structures, and putative cis-actin
