PNGase/UBA or UBX (PUB) domain of p97 adaptor proteins The PUB domain is found in p97 adaptor proteins such as PNGase, UBXD1 (UBX domain-containing protein 1), and RNF31 (RING finger protein 31). It functions as a p97 (also known as valosin-containing protein or VCP) adaptor by interacting with the D1 and/or D2 ATPase domains. The p97, a type II AAA+ ATPase, is involved in a variety of cellular processes such as the deglycosylation of ERAD substrates, membrane fusion, transcription factor activation and cell cycle regulation through differential binding to specific adaptor proteins. The PUB domain in UBX-domain protein 1 (UBXD1), which is widely expressed in higher eukaryotes (except for fungi) and which is involved in substrate recruitment to p97, interacts strongly with the C-terminus of p97. Peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase), a deglycosylating enzyme that functions in proteasome-dependent degradation of misfolded glycoproteins which are translocated from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the cytosol during ERAD, associates with the ubiquitin-proteasome system proteins mediated by the N-terminal PUB domain. PNGase is present in all eukaryotic organisms; however, the yeast PNGase ortholog does not contain the PUB domain. The RNF31 protein, also known as HOIP or Zibra, contains an N-terminal PUB domain similar to those in PNGase and UBXD1, suggesting its association with p97. |
