    text
  • reduced UBA1 localizes mainly in the cytosol, but is translocated from the cytosol to the membrane under conditions of oxidative stress
    • basic FUNCTION
  • ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1, escaping inactivation in human involved in cell cycle progression through S phase
  • catalyzing the first step in ubiquitin conjugation to mark cellular proteins for degradation
  • required for charging the cell-cycle E2s Cdc34A and Cdc34B (
  • major function of UBA1 is to promote degradation of damaged proteins by 26S proteasome by tagging the target proteins with an Ub moiety
  • ubiquitination levels are strongly related to UBA1 activity

    small molecule
    protein
  • Hsp105alpha (
  • interactions between FUS and proteins involved in neurodegenerative diseases and/or ubiquitin proteasome pathway, such as VCP, SFPQ, UBA1, and 26S proteosome non-ATPase regulatory subunit 12 (PSMD12)
  • USP5 and UBA1, are interacting partners of UBTD2
  • UBA1 and UBD form a stable non-reducible conjugate under overexpression as well as under endogenous conditions after induction of endogenous UBD expression with proinflammatory cytokines
  • does not act as a second E1 activating enzyme for UBD but UBDylation of UBA1 leads to its proteasomal degradation, implying a putative regulatory role of UBD in the ubiquitin conjugation pathway
