چکیده

The ubiquitin-like modifier FAT10 targets proteins for degradation by the proteasome and is activated by the E1 enzyme UBA6. In this study, we identify the UBA6-specific E2 enzyme (USE1) as an interaction partner of FAT10. Activated FAT10 can be transferred from UBA6 onto USE1 in vitro, and endogenous USE1 and FAT10 can be coimmunoprecipitated from intact cells. Small interfering RNA-mediated downregulation of USE1 mRNA resulted in a strong reduction of FAT10 conjugate formation under endogenous conditions, suggesting that USE1 is a major E2 enzyme in the FAT10 conjugation cascade. Interestingly, USE1 is not only the first E2 enzyme but also the first known substrate of FAT10 conjugation, as it was efficiently auto-FAT10ylated in cis but not in trans.

UNLABELLED The cytokine-inducible ubiquitin-like modifier HLA-F adjacent transcript 10 (FAT10) targets its substrates for degradation by the proteasome. FAT10 is conjugated to its substrates via the bispecific, ubiquitin-activating and FAT10-activating enzyme UBA6, the likewise bispecific conjugating enzyme UBA6-specific E2 enzyme 1 (USE1), and possibly E3 ligases. By MS analysis, we found that...

Conjugation of the Ubiquitin Activating Enzyme UBE1 with the Ubiquitin-Like Modifier FAT10 Targets It for Proteasomal Degradation

The ubiquitin-like modifier HLA-F adjacent transcript 10 (FAT10) directly targets its substrates for proteasomal degradation by becoming covalently attached via its C-terminal diglycine motif to internal lysine residues of its substrate proteins. The conjugation machinery consists of the bispecific E1 activating enzyme Ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme 6 (UBA6), the likewise bispecific ...

The proteomic analysis of endogenous FAT10 substrates identifies p62/SQSTM1 as a substrate of FAT10ylation.

FAT10 is a ubiquitin-like modifier proposed to function in apoptosis induction, cell cycle control and NF-κB activation. Upon induction by pro-inflammatory cytokines, hundreds of endogenous substrates become covalently conjugated to FAT10 leading to their proteasomal degradation. Nevertheless, only three substrates have been identified so far to which FAT10 becomes covalently attached through a...

Activating the ubiquitin family: UBA6 challenges the field.

Since its discovery in 1981, ubiquitin-activating enzyme 1 was thought to be the only E1-type enzyme responsible for ubiquitin activation. Recently, a relatively uncharacterized E1 enzyme, designated ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme 6, was also shown to activate ubiquitin. Ubiquitin-activating enzyme 1 and ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme 6 are both essential proteins, and eac...

The ubiquitin-like protein FAT10 forms covalent conjugates and induces apoptosis.

FAT10 is a ubiquitin-like protein that is encoded in the major histocompatibility complex class I locus and is synergistically inducible with interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor alpha. The molecule consists of two ubiquitin-like domains in tandem arrangement and bears a conserved diglycine motif at its carboxyl terminus commonly used in ubiquitin-like proteins for isopeptide linkage to c...
