In most mammalian tissues, ubiquinone (also called coenzyme Q) has 10 isoprene units.

Dolichols of animals have 17 to 21 isoprene units (85 to 105 carbon atoms), bacterial dolichols have 11, and those of plants and fungi have 14 to 24.

Cyclins are degraded through the action of two different E3-ligases:

1. SCF (Skp1, Cullin, and F-box proteins) 

2. APC/C or cyclosome

SCF and APC/C are multisubunit ubiquitin-protein ligases that belong to the RING finger family of ubiquitin-protein ligases.
