Degradation of rapidly turned over cellular proteins is commonly thought to be energy dependent, to require tagging of protein substrates by multi-ubiquitin chains, and to involve the 26 S proteasome, which is the major neutral proteolytic activity in both the cytosol and the nucleus. The c-Jun oncoprotein is very unstable in vivo. Using cell-free degradation assays, we show that ubiquitinylation, along with other types of tagging, is not an absolute prerequisite for ATP-dependent degradation of c-Jun by the 26 S proteasome. This indicates that a protein may bear intrinsic structural determinants allowing its selective recognition and breakdown by the 26 S proteasome. Moreover, taken together with observations by different groups, our data point to the notion of the existence of multiple degradation pathways operating on c-Jun.
