Thank you HSP90 for starting this page. I just added the information about UBact to it. The identification of UBact is the result of my work at the lab of Professor Aaron Ciechanover. Best, Gilad
Proposed merge of Ubiquitin bacterial into Prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein
[edit]"no experimental evidence presented to justify the distinction of UBact from Pup" Artoria2e5 🌉 09:57, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
Kyle Garrick removed the merge tag because Ubiquitin bacterial does not need to be merged with Prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein as they do have differences. Merge was suggested because no test have been conducted to show their differences
. Besides procedual things, I disagree because:
- PMID 28087277 of the original proposal strongly suggests otherwise -- also on phylo grounds. WP:CRYSTALBALL.
- Even if they are different, the small difference would likely not justify the use of two different pages.
In addition, I note that the UBact page stands on pretty thin grounds in terms of verifiablility, and is pretty stretched out in an attempt to show its alleged difference from Pup.
- Useless Phyre2 figure.
- "Evolutionary perspective" dating to the monoderm-diderm split is WP:SYNTHESIS: the ref does not even mention PUP or UBact. PMID 28087277 does contain this number, but suggests HGT as the alternative explanation and does not support the split.
- Has been essay-like for a long time. I should probably tag OrganoMetallurgy...
- I do appreciate the big sequence dump (since I may want to send them to Pfam), but they do not belong on Wikipedia due to OR.
A lot of the other information, such as the syntentry, are quite useful to the Pup article too.

- Support merge; closely-overlapping topics, and both articles are short, which are two good WP:MERGEREASONS. Klbrain (talk) 18:15, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
