Function

[RD23A_HUMAN] Multiubiquitin chain receptor involved in modulation of proteasomal degradation. Binds to 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitin chains in a length-dependent manner and with a lower affinity to 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains. Proposed to be capable to bind simultaneously to the 26S proteasome and to polyubiquitinated substrates and to deliver ubiquitinated proteins to the proteasome.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Involved in nucleotide excision repair and is thought to be functional equivalent for RAD23B in global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) by association with XPC. In vitro, the XPC:RAD23A dimer has NER activity. Can stabilize XPC.[6] [7] [8] [9] [10] Involved in vpr-dependent replication of HIV-1 in non-proliferating cells and primary macrophages. Required for the association of HIV-1 vpr with the host proteasome.[11] [12] [13] [14] [15]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The structure of the first ubiquitin-associated domain from HHR23A, UBA(1), was determined by X-ray crystallography at a 1.60 A resolution, and its stability, folding kinetics, and residual structure under denaturing conditions have been investigated. The concentration dependence of thermal denaturation and size-exclusion chromatography indicate that UBA(1) is monomeric. Guanidine hydrochloride (GdnHCl) denaturation experiments reveal that the unfolding free energy, DeltaGu degrees '(H2O), of UBA(1) is 2.4 kcal mol(-1). Stopped-flow folding kinetics indicates sub-millisecond folding with only proline isomerization phases detectable at 25 degrees C. The full folding kinetics are observable at 4 degrees C, yielding a folding rate constant, kf, in the absence of a denaturant of 13,000 s(-1) and a Tanford beta-value of 0.80, consistent with a compact transition state. Evaluation of the secondary structure via circular dichroism shows that the residual helical structure in the denatured state is replaced by polyproline II structure as the GdnHCl concentration increases. Analysis of NMR secondary chemical shifts for backbone (15)NH, (13)CO, and (13)Calpha atoms between 4 and 7 M GdnHCl shows three islands of residual helical secondary structure that align in sequence with the three native-state helices. Extrapolation of the NMR data to 0 M GdnHCl demonstrates that helical structure would populate to 17-33% in the denatured state under folding conditions. Comparison with NMR data for a peptide corresponding to helix 1 indicates that this helix is stabilized by transient tertiary interactions in the denatured state of UBA(1). The high helical content in the denatured state, which is enhanced by transient tertiary interactions, suggests a diffusion-collision folding mechanism.
