Ubiquitin family; This family contains a number of ubiquitin-like proteins: SUMO (smt3 homolog), Nedd8, Elongin B, Rub1, and Parkin. A number of them are thought to carry a distinctive five-residue motif termed the proteasome-interacting motif (PIM), which may have a biologically significant role in protein delivery to proteasomes and recruitment of proteasomes to transcription sites.

ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain found in the Rad23 protein family; The Rad23 family includes the yeast nucleotide excision repair (NER) proteins, Rad23p (in Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and Rhp23p (in Schizosaccharomyces pombe), their mammalian orthologs HR23A and HR23B, and putative DNA repair proteins from plants. Rad23 proteins play dual roles in DNA repair as well as in proteosomal degradation. They have affinity for both the proteasome and ubiquitinylated proteins and participate in translocating polyubiquitinated proteins to the proteasome. Rad23 proteins carry an ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain with a beta-grasp Ubl fold, and two ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domains, as well as a xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC) protein-binding domain. The Ubl domain is responsible for the binding to proteasome. The UBA domains are important for binding of ubiquitin (Ub) or multi-ubiquitinated substrates, which suggests Rad23 proteins might be involved in certain pathways of Ub metabolism. Both the Ubl domain and the XPC-binding domain are necessary for efficient NER function of Rad23 proteins.

ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain found in parkin and similar proteins; Parkin, also termed Parkinson juvenile disease protein 2, is a RBR-type E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that is associated with recessive early onset Parkinson's disease (PD), and exerts a protective effect against dopamine-induced alpha-synuclein-dependent cell toxicity. Mutations in the parkin gene cause autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism. Parkin functions within a multiprotein E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, catalyzing the covalent attachment of ubiquitin moieties onto substrate proteins, such as BCL2, SYT11, CCNE1, GPR37, RHOT1/MIRO1, MFN1, MFN2, STUB1, SNCAIP, SEPT5, TOMM20, USP30, ZNF746 and AIMP2. It mediates monoubiquitination as well as Lys-6-, Lys-11-, Lys-48- and Lys-63-linked polyubiquitination of substrates depending on the context. Parkin may enhance cell viability and protects dopaminergic neurons from oxidative stress-mediated death by regulating mitochondrial function. It also limits the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and regulates cyclin-E during neuronal apoptosis. Moreover, parkin displays a ubiquitin ligase-independent function in transcriptional repression of p53. Parkin contains an N-terminal ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain and a C-terminal RBR domain that was previously known as RING-BetweenRING-RING domain or TRIAD [two RING fingers and a DRIL (double RING finger linked)] domain. Based on current understanding of the structural biology of RBR ligases, the nomenclature of RBR has been corrected as RING-BRcat (benign-catalytic)-Rcat (required-for-catalysis) recently. The RBR (RING1-BRcat-Rcat) domain use an auto-inhibitory mechanism to modulate ubiquitination activity, as well as a hybrid mechanism that combines aspects from both RING and HECT E3 ligase function to facilitate the ubiquitination reaction.

ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain found in BCL2-associated athanogene 6 (BAG6) and similar proteins; BAG6, also termed large proline-rich protein BAG6, or BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 6, or HLA-B-associated transcript 3 (Bat3), or protein Scythe, or protein G3, is a nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling chaperone protein that is highly conserved in eukaryotes. It functions in two distinct biological pathways, ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation of defective polypeptides and tail-anchored transmembrane protein biogenesis in mammals. BAG6 is a component of the heterotrimeric BAG6 sortase complex composed of BAG6, transmembrane recognition complex 35 (TRC35) and ubiquitin-like protein 4A (UBL4A). The BAG6 complex together with the cochaperone small, glutamine-rich, tetratricopeptide repeat-containing, protein alpha (SGTA) plays a role in the biogenesis of tail-anchored membrane proteins and subsequently shown to regulate the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of mislocalized proteins. Moreover, BAG6 acts as an apoptotic regulator that binds reaper, a potent apoptotic inducer. BAG6/reaper is thought to signal apoptosis, in part through regulating the folding and activity of apoptotic signaling molecules. It is also likely a key regulator of the molecular chaperone Heat Shock Protein A2 (HSPA2) stability/function in human germ cells. Furthermore, aspartyl protease-mediated cleavage of BAG6 is necessary for autophagy and fungal resistance in plants. BAG6 contains a ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain with a beta-grasp Ubl fold, which provides a platform for discriminating substrates with shorter hydrophobicity stretches as a signal for defective proteins.

It inhibits respiratory syncytial virus replication and is targeted by the viral nonstructural protein 1 (NS1). It also displays antiviral activity against encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) via an alternative antiviral pathway independent of RNase L. Moreover, OASL does not have 2'-5'-OAS activity, but can bind double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to enhance RIG-I signaling. OASL belongs to the 2'-5' oligoadenylate synthase (OAS) family. While each member of this family has a conserved N-terminal OAS catalytic domain, only OASL has two tandem C-terminal ubiquitin-like (Ubl) repeats, which are required for its antiviral activity. This family corresponds to the second Ubl domain.

ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain found in the eukaryotic Ddi1 family; The eukaryotic Ddi1 family, including yeast aspartyl protease DNA-damage inducible 1 (Ddi1) and Ddi1-like proteins from vertebrates and other eukaryotes, has been characterized by containing an N-terminal ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain and a conserved retroviral aspartyl-protease-like domain (RVP) that is important in cell-cycle control. Yeast Ddi1 and many family members also contain a C-terminal ubiquitin-association (UBA) domain, however, Ddi1-like proteins from all vertebrates lack the UBA domain. Ddi1, also termed v-SNARE-master 1 (Vsm1), is an ubiquitin receptor involved in the cell cycle and late secretory pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It functions as an UBA-Ubl shuttle protein that is required for the proteasome to enable ubiquitin-dependent degradation of its ligands. For instance, Ddi1 plays an essential role in the final stages of proteasomal degradation of Ho endonuclease and of its cognate FBP, Ufo1. Moreover, Ddi1 and its associated protein Rad23p play a cooperative role as negative regulators in yeast PHO pathway. This family also includes mammalian regulatory solute carrier protein family 1 member 1 (RSC1A1), also termed transporter regulator RS1 (RS1), which mediates transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of Na(+)-D-glucose cotransporter SGLT1. Ddi1-like proteins play a significant role in cell cycle control, growth control, and trafficking in yeast and may play a crucial role in embryogenesis in higher eukaryotes.

It also ubiquitinates PCNP, a PEST-containing nuclear protein. Moreover, UHRF2 functions as a nuclear protein involved in cell-cycle regulation and has been implicated in tumorigenesis. It interacts with cyclins, CDKs, p53, pRB, PCNA, HDAC1, DNMTs, G9a, methylated histone H3 lysine 9, and methylated DNA. It interacts with the cyclin E-CDK2 complex, ubiquitinates cyclins D1 and E1, induces G1 arrest, and is involved in the G1/S transition regulation. Furthermore, UHRF2 is a direct transcriptional target of the transcription factor E2F-1 in the induction of apoptosis. It recruits HDAC1 and binds to methyl-CpG. UHRF2 also participates in the maturation of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) through interacting with HBV core protein and promoting its degradation. UHRF2 contains an N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain (Ubl), a tandem Tudor domain (TTD), a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger, a set- and ring-associated (SRA) domain, and a C-terminal RING finger.

ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain found in splicing factor 3A 120kDa subunit (SF3a120) and similar proteins; Mammalian splicing factor SF3a consists of three subunits of 60, 66, and 120 kDa and functions early during pre-mRNA splicing by converting the U2 snRNP to its active form. The 120kDa subunit SF3a120, also termed splicing factor 3A subunit 1 (SF3A1), or spliceosome-associated protein 114 (SAP114), is the U2 snRNP-specific protein that is critical for spliceosome assembly and normal splicing events. During splicing, SF3a120, together with the U2 snRNP and other proteins, are recruited to the 3' splicing site to generate the splicing complex A after the recognition of the 3' splicing site. SF3a120 contains two N-terminal SWAP (suppressor-of-white-apricot) domains, referred to collectively as the SURP module, as well as a C-terminal ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain with a beta-grasp Ubl fold, a common structure involved in protein-protein interactions.

ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain 1 found in 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthase-like protein (OASL) and similar proteins; OASL, also termed 2'-5'-OAS-related protein (2'-5'-OAS-RP), or 59 kDa 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthase-like protein, or thyroid receptor-interacting protein 14, or TR-interacting protein 14 (TRIP-14), or p59 OASL (p59OASL), is an interferon (IFN)-induced antiviral protein that plays an important role in the IFNs-mediated antiviral signaling pathway. It inhibits respiratory syncytial virus replication and is targeted by the viral nonstructural protein 1 (NS1). It also displays antiviral activity against encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) via an alternative antiviral pathway independent of RNase L. Moreover, OASL does not have 2'-5'-OAS activity, but can bind double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to enhance RIG-I signaling. OASL belongs to the 2'-5' oligoadenylate synthase (OAS) family. While each member of this family has a conserved N-terminal OAS catalytic domain, only OASL has two tandem C-terminal ubiquitin-like (Ubl) repeats, which is required for its antiviral activity. This family corresponds to the first Ubl domain.

ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain found in ubiquitin-specific-processing protease 48 (USP48) and similar proteins; USP48, also termed USP31, or deubiquitinating enzyme 48, or ubiquitin thioesterase 48, or ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 48, belongs to the ubiquitin specific protease (USP) family that is one of at least seven deubiquitylating enzyme (DUB) families capable of deconjugating ubiquitin (Ub)and ubiquitin-like (Ubl) adducts. While the USP proteins have a conserved catalytic core domain, USP48 differs in its domain architecture. It contains an N-terminal USP domain, three DUSP (domain present in ubiquitin-specific protease) domains, and a C-terminal Ubl domain with a beta-grasp Ubl fold, a common structure involved in protein-protein interactions. USP48 is a deubiquitinating enzyme that interacts with TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) and has been implicated in activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB). Moreover, as a nuclear deubiquitinase regulated by casein kinase 2 (CK2), USP48 controls the ubiquitin/proteasome-system (UPS)-dependent turnover of activated NF-kappaB/RelA in the nucleus together with the COP9 signalosome, suggesting a role of USP48 in a timely control of immune responses.

It is strongly expressed at the mesencephalon (midbrain) of the embryo in day 12.5 (E12.5) mice and its expression is developmentally regulated. Midnolin plays a role in cellular signaling of adult tissues and regulates glucokinase enzyme activity in pancreatic beta cells. It can also control development via regulation of mRNA transport in cells. Midnolin contains an N-terminal conserved ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain with a beta-grasp Ubl fold, a common structure involved in protein-protein interactions.

ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain 1 found in FAS-associated factor 1 (FAF1) and similar proteins; FAF1, also termed UBX domain-containing protein 12 (UBXD12), or UBX domain-containing protein 3A (UBXN3A), belongs to the UBXD family of proteins that contains the ubiquitin (Ub) regulatory domain X (UBX) with a beta-grasp ubiquitin-like (Ubl) fold, but without the C-terminal double glycine motif. The UBX domain is typically located at the carboxyl terminus of proteins, and participates broadly in the regulation of protein degradation. In addition, FAF1 contains two tandem Ubl domains, which show high structural similarity with the UBX domain. FAF1 functions as a cofactor of p97 (also known as VCP or Cdc48), which is a homohexameric AAA ATPase (ATPase associated with a variety of activities) involved in a variety of functions ranging from cell-cycle regulation to membrane fusion and protein degradation. The FAF1-p97 complex inhibits the proteasomal protein degradation in which p97 acts as a co-chaperone. Moreover, FAF1 is an apoptotic signaling molecule that acts downstream in the Fas signal transduction pathway. It interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of Fas, but not to a Fas mutant that is deficient in signal transduction. FAF1 is widely expressed in adult and embryonic tissues, and in tumor cell lines, and is localized not only in the cytoplasm where it interacts with Fas, but also in the nucleus. FAF1 contains phosphorylation sites for protein kinase CK2 within the nuclear targeting domain. Phosphorylation influences nuclear localization of FAF1 but does not affect its potentiation of Fas-induced apoptosis. Other functions have also been attributed to FAF1. It inhibits nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) by interfering with the nuclear translocation of the p65 subunit. Although the precise role of FAF1 in the ubiquitination pathway remains unclear, FAF1 interacts with valosin-containing protein (VCP), which is involved in the ubiquitin-proteosome pathway. The family corresponds to the first Ubl domain.

ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain found in UV excision repair protein RAD23 homolog B (HR23B); HR23B, also termed xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC) repair-complementing complex 58 kDa protein (p58), is tightly complexed with XPC protein to form the XPC-HR23B complex. Although it displays a high affinity for both single- and double-stranded DNA, the XPC-HR23B complex functions as a global genome repair (GGR)-specific repair factor that is specifically involved in global genome but not transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (NER). HR23B also interacts specifically with S5a subunit of the human 26S proteasome, and plays an important role in shuttling ubiquitinated cargo proteins to the proteasome. HR23B contains an N-terminal ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain that binds proteasomes and two C-terminal ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domains that bind ubiquitin or multi-ubiquitinated substrates. In addition, it has a XPC protein-binding domain that might be necessary for its efficient NER function.

It functions as a strong post-transcriptional down-regulator of the NEDD8 expression and plays critical roles in regulating many biological events, such as cell growth, NF-kappaB signaling, and biological responses to hypoxia. NUB1 can also interact with aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein-like 1 (AIPL1), which may function in the regulation of cell cycle progression. NUB1 contains a conserved ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain with a beta-grasp Ubl fold, three ubiquitin-associated domains (UBA), a bipartite nuclear localization signal (NLS) and a PEST motif.

ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain found in BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 1 (BAG1) and similar proteins; BAG1, also termed Bcl-2-associated athanogene 1, or HAP, is a multifunctional protein involved in a variety of cellular functions such as apoptosis, transcription, and proliferative pathways, as well as in cell signaling and differentiation. It delivers chaperone-recognized unfolded substrates to the proteasome for degradation. BAG1 functions as a co-chaperone for Hsp70/Hsc70 to increase Hsp70 foldase activity. It also suppresses apoptosis and enhances neuronal differentiation. As an anti-apoptotic factor, BAG1 interacts with tau and regulates its proteasomal degradation. It also binds to BCR-ABL with a high affinity, and directly routes immature BCR-ABL for proteasomal degradation. It acts as a potential therapeutic target in Parkinson's disease. It also modulates huntingtin toxicity, aggregation, degradation, and subcellular distribution, suggesting a role in Huntington's disease. There are at least four isoforms of Bag1 protein that are formed by alternative initiation of translation within a common mRNA. BAG1 contains an N-terminal ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain with a beta-grasp Ubl fold, and a C-terminal BAG domain.

ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain found in inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinases, IKK-alpha and IKK-beta, and similar proteins; IKK, also termed IkappaB kinase, is an enzyme complex involved in propagating the cellular response to inflammation. It is part of the upstream nuclear factor kappa-B kinase (NF-kappaB) signal transduction cascade, and plays an important role in regulating the NF-kappaB transcription factor. IKK is composed of three subunits, IKK-alpha/CHUK, IKK-beta/IKBKB, and IKK-gamma/NEMO. The IKK-alpha and IKK-beta subunits together are catalytically active whereas the IKK-gamma subunit serves a regulatory function. IKK-alpha and IKK-beta phosphorylate the IkappaB proteins, marking them for degradation via ubiquitination and allowing NF-kappaB transcription factors to go into the nucleus. IKK-alpha, also known as IKK-A, or IkappaB kinase A (IkBKA), or conserved helix-loop-helix ubiquitous kinase (CHUK), or I-kappa-B kinase 1 (IKK1), or nuclear factor NF-kappa-B inhibitor kinase alpha (NFKBIKA), or transcription factor 16 (TCF-16), belongs to the serine/threonine protein kinase family. In addition to NF-kappaB response, it has many additional cellular targets in an NF-kappaB-independent manner. For instance, it plays a role in epidermal differentiation, as well as in the regulation of the cell cycle protein cyclin D1. IKK-beta, also known as IKK-B, or IkappaB kinase B (IkBKB), or I-kappa-B kinase 2 (IKK2), or nuclear factor NF-kappa-B inhibitor kinase beta (NFKBIKB), belongs to the serine/threonine protein kinase family as well. It interacts with many different protein partners and has been implicated in the treatment of many inflammatory diseases and cancers. Both IKK-alpha and IKK-beta contain an N-terminal catalytic domain followed by a conserved ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain with a beta-grasp Ubl fold, a common structure involved in protein-protein interactions.

ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain found in Sacsin and similar proteins; Sacsin, also termed DnaJ homolog subfamily C member 29 (DNAJC29), is encoded by SACS gene that is highly expressed in the brain. Mutations in SACS can cause the neurodegenerative disease autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix Saguenay (ARSACS) which is characterized by early-onset spastic ataxia. Sacsin is a modular protein that is localized on the mitochondrial surface and possibaly required for normal mitochondrial network organization. Sacsin knockdown resulted in a reduction in cells expressing plyglutamine-expanded ataxin-1, which correlated with a loss of cells with large nuclear ataxin-1 incusions. At the N-terminus, sacsin contains a ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain with a beta-grasp Ubl fold, which can interact with the proteasome. At the C-terminus, sacsin harbors a protein-protein interaction J-domain followed by an higher eukaryotes and prokaryotes nucleotide-binding (HEPN) domain. The J-domain is typically associated with DnaJ-like co-chaperones involved in regulation of the Hsp70 heat shock system.

ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain found in ubiquitin-like protein 5 (UBL5) and similar proteins; UBL5, known as Hub1 in yeast, is an atypical ubiquitin-like (Ubl) post-translational modifier that contains a conserved Ubl domain with a beta-grasp Ubl fold. At the C-terminal end of its Ubl fold is a di-tyrosine motif followed by a single variable residue instead of the characteristic di-glycine found in all other Ubl modifiers, and thus UBL5 does not form covalent conjugates with cellular proteins. The yeast Hub1p binds non-covalently to the HIND element of spliceosomal protein Snu66p (Snu66p is termed SART1 in mammals) and modifies the spliceosome by this unconventional Ubl modifier. In higher eukaryotes, UBL5/Hub1 plays a role in modulating pre-mRNA splicing. It also is required for signaling in the mitochondrial unfolded protein response, through interaction with the transcription factor DVE-1 and upregulation of chaperone genes in response to mitochondrial stress. Moreover, UBL5 functions as a factor that directly binds to and stabilizes FANCI, and promotes the functionality of the Fanconi anemia (FA) DNA repair pathway.

ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain found in small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) and similar proteins; SUMO (also known as "Smt3" and "sentrin" in other organisms) resembles ubiquitin (Ub) in structure, ligation to other proteins, and the mechanism of ligation. Ubiquitin is a protein modifier in eukaryotes that is involved in various cellular processes, including transcriptional regulation, cell cycle control, and DNA repair. Ubiquitination is comprised of a cascade of E1, E2 and E3 enzymes that results in a covalent bond between the C-terminus of Ub and the epsilon-amino group of a substrate lysine. SUMOs, like Ub, are covalently conjugated to lysine residues in a wide variety of target proteins in eukaryotic cells and regulate numerous cellular processes, such as transcription, epigenetic gene control, genomic instability, and protein degradation. The mammalian SUMOs have four paralogs, SUMO1 through SUMO4, which all regulate different cellular functions by conjugating to different proteins. SUMO2-4 are more closely related to each other than to SUMO1.
