ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain found in homocysteine-inducible endoplasmic reticulum stress protein HERP
HERP is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) integral membrane protein containing an N-terminal ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain with a beta-grasp Ubl fold. The Ubl domain is required for the degradation of HERP itself as well as for HERP-mediated anti-apoptotic effects. HERP is induced by the ER stress response pathway and is involved in improving the balance of folding capacity and protein loads in the ER. There are two types of HERP, HERP1 and HERP2, which are encoded by the HERPUD1 and HERPUD2 genes, respectively.
Feature 1: key conserved lysine K27, 1 residue position
Conserved feature residue pattern:[KR]
Evidence:
Comment:K27 (Ub numbering) is a lysine conserved in the Ubl_ubiquitin_like family; it is one of 7 lysines involved in chain linkage in ubiquitin (K6, K11, K27, K29, K33, K48, or K63, Ub numbering); may have other functions, for example for NEDD8 it is involved in the mechanism of protein neddylation
