Ubiquitin regulatory domain X (UBX) found in NSFL1 cofactor (also known as UBX domain-containing protein 2C (UBXN2C) and similar proteins; UBXN2C, also termed NSFL1C, or NSFL1 cofactor p47, or p97 cofactor p47, UBX1, or UBXD10, belongs to the UBXD family of proteins that contains the ubiquitin regulatory domain X (UBX) with a beta-grasp ubiquitin-like fold, but without the C-terminal double glycine motif. UBX domain is typically located at the carboxyl terminus of proteins, and participates broadly in the regulation of protein degradation. UBXN2C is a major adaptor 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 main role of the UBXN2C/p97 complex is in regulation of membrane fusion events. It plays an essential role in the reassembly of Golgi stacks at the end of mitosis. UBXN2C also functions as an essential factor for Golgi membrane fusion, which associates with the nuclear factor-kappaB essential modulator (NEMO) subunit of the IkappaB kinase (IKK) complex upon tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha or interleukin (IL)-1 stimulation, induces the lysosome-dependent degradation of polyubiquitinated NEMO without p97, and thus inhibits IKK activation. Moreover, UBXN2C regulates a membrane fusion process, which is required by the maintenance of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) network, through phosphorylation by Cdc2 kinase.

UBA-like domain found in NSFL1 cofactor p47 and similar proteins; p47, also called UBX domain-containing protein 2C, is a major cofactor of the cytosolic AAA ATPase p97. It is required for the p97-regulated membrane reassembly of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the nuclear envelope and the Golgi apparatus. p47, together with p97, forms the p97-p47 complex that plays an important role in regulation of membrane fusion events. p47 contains an N-terminal ubiquitin-associated (UBA)-like domain, a central SEP (named after shp1, eyc and p47) domain, and a ubiquitin-like (UBX) domain. UBA-like domain is responsible for forming a highly stable complex with ubiquitin. SEP domain and UBX domain may involve in p47 trimerization or forms a stable complex with the p97 N-terminal domain.

UBXN1 has been identified as a substrate for stress-activated protein kinases (SAPKs). It binds polyubiquitin and valosin-containing protein (VCP), suggesting a role as an adaptor that directs VCP to polyubiquitinated proteins facilitating its destruction by the proteasome. In addition, UBXN1 specifically binds to Homer2b. It may also interact with ubiquitin (Ub) and be involved in the Ub-proteasome proteolytic pathways. UBXN1 can also associate with autoubiquitinated BRCA1 tumor suppressor and inhibit its enzymatic function through its UBA domains.

Ubiquitin regulatory domain X (UBX) found in FAS associated factor 1 (FAF1, also known as UBXN3A) and similar proteins; UBX domain-containing protein 3A (UBXN3A),also termed UBX domain-containing protein 12 (UBXD12), or FAF1, belongs to the UBXD family of proteins that contains the ubiquitin regulatory domain X (UBX) with a beta-grasp ubiquitin-like fold, but without the C-terminal double glycine motif. 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 ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domains, which shows high structural similarity with 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. This family corresponds to UBX domain.

Ubiquitin regulatory domain X (UBX) 2 found in UBX domain protein 9 (UBXN9, UBXD9, or ASPSCR1) and similar proteins; UBXN9, also termed tether containing UBX domain for GLUT4 (TUG), or alveolar soft part sarcoma chromosomal region candidate gene 1 protein (ASPSCR1), or alveolar soft part sarcoma locus (ASPL), or renal papillary cell carcinoma protein 17 (RCC17), belongs to the UBXD family of proteins that contains two ubiquitin regulatory domains X (UBX) with a beta-grasp ubiquitin-like fold, but without the C-terminal double glycine motif. UBX domain is typically located at the carboxyl terminus of proteins, and participates broadly in the regulation of protein degradation. In addition, UBXN9 contains an N-terminal ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain. UBXN9 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. However, high-affinity interacting protein ASPL efficiently promotes p97 hexamer disassembly, resulting in the formation of stable p97:ASPL heterotetramers; the extended UBX domain (eUBX) in ASPL is critical for p97 hexamer disassembly and facilitates the assembly of p97:ASPL heterotetramers.UBXN9 is involved in insulin-stimulated redistribution of the glucose transporter GLUT4, assembly of the Golgi apparatus. In addition to GLUT4, UBXN9 also controls vesicle translocation by interacting with insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP), a transmembrane aminopeptidase. UBXN9 and its budding yeast ortholog, Ubx4p, are multifunctional proteins that share some, but not all functions. Yeast Ubx4p is important for endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation (ERAD) but UBXN9 appears not to share this function.

UBA-like domain found in Caenorhabditis elegans tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) and similar proteins; The family includes C. elegans TDP2 and its homologs found in bilateria. TDP2 (also known as TTRAP or EAPII) belongs to the Mg(2+)/Mn(2+)-dependent family of phosphodiesterases which contains an N-terminal ubiquitin-associated (UBA)-like domain and a C-terminal phosphodiesterase domain. It required for the efficient repair of topoisomerase II-induced DNA double strand breaks. The topoisomerase is covalently linked by a phosphotyrosyl bond to the 5'-terminus of the break. TDP2 cleaves the DNA 5'-phosphodiester bond and restores 5'-phosphate termini needed for subsequent DNA ligation and hence repair of the break. Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1), an enzyme that cleaves 3'-phosphotyrosyl bonds, and TDP2 are complementary activities; together, they allow cells to remove trapped topoisomerase from both 3'- and 5'-DNA termini. TDP2 has been reported as being involved in apoptosis, embryonic development, and transcriptional regulation.

Ubiquitin regulatory domain X (UBX) found in UBX domain protein 6 (UBXN6) and similar proteins; UBXN6, also termed UBX domain-containing protein 1 (UBXD1), and UBXDC2, belongs to the UBXD family of proteins that contains the ubiquitin regulatory domain X (UBX) with a beta-grasp ubiquitin-like fold, but without the C-terminal double glycine motif. UBX domain is typically located at the carboxyl terminus of proteins, and participates broadly in the regulation of protein degradation. UBXN6 acts 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. Unlike other p97 cofactors that binds the N-domain of p97 through their UBX domain, UBXN6 binds p97 in two regions, at the p97 C terminus via a PUB domain and at the p97 N-domain with a short linear interaction motif termed VIM. Its UBX domain is not functional for the binding of p97. The UBXN6-p97 complex regulates the endolysosomal sorting of ubiquitylated plasma membrane protein caveolin-1 (CAV1), as well as the trafficking of ERGIC-53-containing vesicles by controlling the interaction of transport factors with the cytoplasmic tail of ERGIC-53. In addition, UBXN6 is a regulatory component of endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) that may modulate the adaptor binding to p97.

Ubiquitin regulatory domain X (UBX) found in FAS associated factor 2 (FAF2, also known as UBXN3B) and similar proteins; UBX domain-containing protein 3B (UBXN3B), also termed protein ETEA, or FAF2, or UBX domain-containing protein 8 (UBXD8), belongs to the UBXD family of proteins that contains the ubiquitin regulatory domain X (UBX) with a beta-grasp ubiquitin-like fold, but without the C-terminal double glycine motif. UBX domain is typically located at the carboxyl terminus of proteins, and participates broadly in the regulation of protein degradation. FAF2 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 p97-UBXD8 complex destabilizes mRNA by promoting release of ubiquitinated the RNA-binding protein HuR from messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP). Moreover, FAF2 is the translation product of a highly expressed gene in the T-cells and eosinophils of atopic dermatitis patients compared with those of normal individuals. A yeast two-hybrid assay showed that FAF2 can interact with Fas.

UBA-like domain found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae UBX domain-containing protein 5 (Ubx5) and similar proteins; Ubx5 is a ubiquitin regulatory X (UBX) domain-containing protein encoded by the open reading frame (ORF) YDR330W in yeast. As the yeast ortholog of mammalian UBXD7, Ubx5 functions as the cofactor of AAA+ ATPase p97, also known as VCP or Cdc48. It binds only to the active, NEDD8- or Rub1-modified form of cullins. Ubx5 contains the ubiquitin-associated (UBA), ubiquitin-associating (UAS), ubiquitin regulatory X (UBX) and ubiquitin-interacting motif (UIM) domains and its UIM domain is required to promote UV-dependent degradation of polyubiquitinated Rpb1.

UBA domain-like superfamily; The ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain-like superfamily contains alpha-helical structural homology ubiquitin-binding domains, including UBA domains and coupling of ubiquitin conjugation to endoplasmic reticulum degradation (CUE) domains which share a common three-helical bundle architecture. UBA domains are commonly occurring sequence motifs found in proteins involved in ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. They contribute to ubiquitin (Ub) binding or ubiquitin-like (UbL) domain binding. However, some kinds of UBA domains can only bind the UbL domain, but not the Ub domain. UBA domains are normally comprised of compact three-helix bundles which contain a conserved GF/Y-loop. They can bind polyubiquitin with high affinity. They also bind monoubiquitin and other proteins. Most UBA domain-containing proteins have one UBA domain, but some harbor two or three UBA domains. CUE domain containing proteins are characterized by an FP and a di-leucine-like sequence and bind to monoubiquitin with varying affinities. Some higher eukaryotic CUE domain proteins do not bind monoubiquitin efficiently, since they carry LP, rather than FP among CUE domains. This superfamily also includes many UBA-like domains found in AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) related kinases, the NXF family of mRNA nuclear export factors, elongation factor Ts (EF-Ts), nascent polypeptide-associated complex subunit alpha (NACA) and similar proteins. Although many UBA-like domains may have a conserved TG but not GF/Y-loop, they still show a high level of structural and sequence similarity with three-helical ubiquitin binding domains.
