UBB pseudogene 4 encodes functional ubiquitin variants

Ubiquitin pseudogenes are present in many organisms but whether they encode functional proteins has remained unclear. Here, the authors show that human UBB pseudogene 4 produces ubiquitin variants with amino acid compositions and cellular functions that are distinct from canonical ubiquitin.
