Structural highlights
FunctionUBC_HUMAN Ubiquitin exists either covalently attached to another protein, or free (unanchored). When covalently bound, it is conjugated to target proteins via an isopeptide bond either as a monomer (monoubiquitin), a polymer linked via different Lys residues of the ubiquitin (polyubiquitin chains) or a linear polymer linked via the initiator Met of the ubiquitin (linear polyubiquitin chains). Polyubiquitin chains, when attached to a target protein, have different functions depending on the Lys residue of the ubiquitin that is linked: Lys-6-linked may be involved in DNA repair; Lys-11-linked is involved in ERAD (endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation) and in cell-cycle regulation; Lys-29-linked is involved in lysosomal degradation; Lys-33-linked is involved in kinase modification; Lys-48-linked is involved in protein degradation via the proteasome; Lys-63-linked is involved in endocytosis, DNA-damage responses as well as in signaling processes leading to activation of the transcription factor NF-kappa-B. Linear polymer chains formed via attachment by the initiator Met lead to cell signaling. Ubiquitin is usually conjugated to Lys residues of target proteins, however, in rare cases, conjugation to Cys or Ser residues has been observed. When polyubiquitin is free (unanchored-polyubiquitin), it also has distinct roles, such as in activation of protein kinases, and in signaling.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedNEMO is essential for activation of the NF-kappaB signaling pathway, which is regulated by ubiquitination of proteins. The C-terminal leucine zipper of NEMO and its adjacent coiled-coil region (CC2-LZ) reportedly bind to linear ubiquitin chains with 1 microM affinity and to Lys 63-linked chains with 100 microM affinity. Here we report the crystal structure of the CC2-LZ region of mouse NEMO in complex with Lys 63-linked di-ubiquitin (K63-Ub(2)) at 2.7A resolution. The ubiquitin-binding region consists of a 130A-long helix and forms a parallel coiled-coil dimer. The Ile 44-centered hydrophobic patch of ubiquitin is recognized in the middle of the NEMO ubiquitin-binding region. NEMO interacts with each K63-Ub(2)via a single ubiquitin-binding site, consistent with low affinity binding with K63-Ub(2).
