Research Abstract	Post-translational modifications (PTMs) govern many aspects of biological systems. Ubiquitylation is a versatile PTM whose functional diversity has not been fully understood. In this study, we investigated a possibility that ubiquitin, itself a source of PTM, is functionally regulated by another PTM. Our research identified ubiquitin phosphorylation sites from cellular ubiquitin conjugated to substrates.
