UBA2 domain found in ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 13 (UBP13); UBP13, also called deubiquitinating enzyme 13, Isopeptidase T-3 (isoT3), ubiquitin thioesterase 13, or ubiquitin-specific-processing protease 13 is an ortholog of UBP5 implicated in catalyzing hydrolysis of various ubiquitin (Ub)-chains. It contains a zinc finger (ZnF) domain, a catalytic ubiquitin-specific processing protease (UBP) domain (catalytic C-box and H-box), and two ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domains. Due to the non-activating catalysis for K63-polyubiquitin chains, UBP13 may function differently from USP5 in cellular deubiquitination processes. Moreover, the zinc finger (ZnF) domain of USP13 cannot bind to Ub. Its tandem UBA domains can bind with different types of diUb but preferentially with K63-linked.USP13 can also regulate the protein level of CD3delta in cells via its UBA domains. This model corresponds to the UBA2 domain.

UBA domain found in proteins involved in ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis; The ubiquitin-associated (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 the bind 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.

It shows both nucleic acid- and methyl-binding properties and can interact with methylated RNA-binding proteins, such as fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) and DEAD/H box-3 (also known as DDX3X/Y, DBX/Y, HLP2 and DDX14) which is implicated in human genetic diseases. At this point, TDRD3 may play a central role in RNA processing regulatory pathways involving arginine methylation. TDRD3 localizes predominantly to the cytoplasm stress granules (SGs). The Tudor domain is essential and sufficient for its recruitment to SGs.

UBA domain found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae DNA-damage response protein Ddi1 and similar proteins; Ddi1, also called v-SNARE-master 1 (Vsm1), is a ubiquitin receptor involved in regulation of the cell cycle and late secretory pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It functions as a ubiquitin association domain (UBA)- ubiquitin-like-domain (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. Ddi1 contains an N-terminal UBL domain and a C-terminal UBA domain. It also harbors a central retroviral aspartyl-protease-like domain (RVP) which may be important in cell-cycle control. At this point, Ddi1 may function proteolytically during regulated protein turnover in the cell. This family also includes mammalian regulatory solute carrier protein family 1 member 1 (RSC1A1), also called transporter regulator RS1 (RS1) which mediates transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of Na(+)-D-glucose cotransporter SGLT1.

It can ubiquitylate DNA polymerase beta (Pol beta), the major BER DNA polymerase and modulates base excision repair (BER). HUWE1 also acts as a critical mediator of both the p53-independent and p53-dependent tumor suppressor functions of ARF tumor suppressor in p53 regulation. Moreover, HUWE1 is both required and sufficient for the polyubiquitination of Mcl-1, an anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member involving in DNA damage-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, HUWE1 plays an important role in the regulation of Cdc6 stability after DNA damage. In addition, HUWE1 works as a partner of N-Myc oncoprotein in neural cells. It ubiquitinates N-Myc and primes it for proteasomal-mediated degradation. HUWE1 contains a ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain, a WWE domain, and a Bcl-2 homology region 3 (BH3) domain at the N-terminus and a HECT domain at the C-terminus. WWE domain plays a role in the regulation of specific protein-protein interactions in a ubiquitin conjugation system. BH3 domain is responsible for the specific binding to Mcl-1. HECT domain involves in the inhibition of the transcriptional activity of p53 via a ubiquitin-dependent degradation pathway. It also controls neural differentiation and proliferation by destabilizing the N-Myc oncoprotein.

UBA domain found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein GTS1 (Gts1p) and similar proteins; Gts1p, also called protein LSR1, is encoded by a pleiotropic gene GTS1 in budding yeast. The formation of Gts1p-mediated protein aggregates may induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and apoptosis. Gts1p also plays an important role in the regulation of heat and other stress responses under glucose-limited or -depleted conditions in either batch or continuous culture. Gts1p contains an N-terminal zinc finger motif similar to that of GATA-transcription factors, a ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain and a C-terminal glutamine-rich strand. The zinc finger is responsible for the binding to the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) which is required for the maintenance of the metabolic oscillations of budding yeast. The polyglutamine sequence is indispensable for the pleiotropy and nuclear localization of Gts1p. It is essential for the transcriptional activation, whereas Gts1p lacks DNA binding activity.
