PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • UMA (UBAP1-MVB12-associated) domain in the N-terminal region (17–63 aa) which mediates the association with the ESCRT-I complex,
  • UBA/THIF type NAD/FAD binding fold
  • a coiled-coil domain
  • two possible N-glycosylation sites
  • five PKC phosphorylation sites
  • seven casein kinase II phosphorylation sites
  • three N-myristoylation sites
  • a SOUBA (solenoid of overlapping ubiquitin-associated domains) domain in the C-terminal region (389–498 aa)
  • HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY

    basic FUNCTION
  • regulator of vesicular trafficking processes, binding to ubiquitinated cargo proteins, and essential for sorting endocytic ubiquitinated cargos into multivesicular bodies
  • UBAP1, a subunit of human ESCRT-I, coassembles in a stable 1:1:1:1 complex with TSG101, VPS28, and VPS37A
  • links endosomal trafficking to the ubiquitination machinery pathways
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • presence of UBAP1, in combination with VPS37A, defines an endosome-specific ESCRT-I complex
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • UBAP1 is important for MVB12A, MVB12B sorting and degradation of ubiquitylated endosomal cargoes, including EGFR, but not for cytokinesis or retroviral budding
  • specific interaction between PTPN23 and the ESCRT-I subunit UBAP1 critical for degradation of growth factor receptors and integrins
