Ubiquitin is a small protein that exists in all eukaryotic cells. It performs its myriad functions through conjugation to a large range of target proteins. A variety of different modifications can occur. The ubiquitin protein itself consists of 76 amino acids and has a molecular mass of about 8.5 kDa. Activation: Ubiquitin is activated in a two-step reaction by an E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme, which is dependent on ATP. 2  The initial step involves production of a ubiquitin-adenylate intermediate. 3  The E1 binds both ATP and ubiquitin and catalyses the acyl-adenylation of the C-terminus of the ubiqutin molecule.
Moon Jellyfish live up to a year on average in an enclosed, temperature controlled system, although with immaculate care they can live up to an additional year. In the wild, the moon jellyfish lifecycle takes one year to complete.
With proper care and a good environment, most species of saltwater reef fish can live for ten years or more. There have been reports of clownfish living up to 28 years in a reef aquarium. There may be some exceptions, but if your fish are well taken care of, they should reward you with many years of enjoyment.
