    text
  • UBR5 and MCRS1 co-localize in the nucleus
  • basic FUNCTION
  • HECT domain E3 ubiquitin protein-ligase playing a role in regulation of cell proliferation or differentiation
  • playing a role in progesterone receptor signaling but also, in carcinogenesis through DNA damage response pathways
  • regulating transcription independently of its E3 ligase activity
  • necessary role for G(1)/S and intra S phase DNA damage checkpoint activation and for the maintenance of G(2)/M arrest after double strand DNA breaks (Munoz 2007)
  • playing a role in the maintenance of genomic stability, emphasising the potential importance of dysregulated UBR5 expression and/or function in the evolution of cancer (Munoz 2007)
  • specifically enhancing trans-activation of smooth muscle-specific promoters by the myocardin family of proteins
  • can attenuate MYOCD protein degradation (Hu 2010)
  • activator os smooth muscle differentiation (Hu 2010)
  • progestin-regulated gene in breast cancer cells
  • UBR5, as well as UBR1 and UBR2, is associated with the ubiquitination of histone proteins
  • TRIP12 and UBR5, two HECT domain ubiquitin E3 ligases, control accumulation of RNF168, a rate-limiting component of a pathway that ubiquitylates histones after DNA breakage
  • HECT-domain containing ubiquitin ligase that plays a role in cell proliferation, differentiation and DNA damage response
  • multiple functions, including E3 ligase activity based on a conserved cysteine residue at the C-terminus
  • UBR5, a protein commonly amplified in breast cancer, is a novel regulator of ESR1 protein levels and transcriptional activity
  • UBR5-mediated ATMIN ubiquitination is a vital event for ATM pathway selection and activation in response to DNA damage
  • UBR5 plays an essential role in gastric cancer
  • UBR7 is a nuclear protein that influences the degradation of an N-end rule substrate and functions together with UBR5 to regulate a NOTCH1 signaling-dependent developmental pathway

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule metal binding,
  • ZN2+
  • protein
  • interacts with importin alpha 5 through consensus basic nuclear localization signals
  • binding to TOPBP1
  • interacting with MYOCD (Hu 2010)
  • in addition to PPP2CA, IGBP1 interacts with UBR5 and PABPC1, suggesting its involvement in multiple steps in the MTOR pathway that leads to translation initiation and cell-cycle progression
  • PCK1 is acetylated by the EP300 acetyltransferase, and this acetylation stimulates the interaction between PCK1 and UBR5, a HECT domain containing E3 ubiquitin ligase, therefore promoting PCK1 ubiquitinylation and degradation
  • increased TP53 levels upon UBR5 depletion cause a G(1) arrest, as co-depletion of UBR5 and TP53 completely rescues this effect on cell cycle progression
  • is a novel MCRS1-interacting protein, that negatively regulates MCRS1 protein stability
  • DYRK2-associated DDB1-UBR5-VPRBP E3 ligase inhibits telomerase by TERT degradation
  • IGBP1 phosphoprotein binds to the protein phosphatase 2A catalytic subunit (PPP2CA) to regulate PP2A activity, and to poly(A)-binding protein (PABPC1) and progestin-inducible UBR5
  • negative regulation of ACVRL1 gene expression by UBR5 that is exerted at the promoter
  • post-translational regulation of NR1I2 via phosphorylation-facilitated ubiquitination by DYRK2 and UBR5
  • interacts with ATMIN and catalyzes ubiquitination of ATMIN at lysine 238 in an IR-stimulated manner, which decreases ATMIN interaction with ATM and promotes MRN-mediated signaling
  • UBR5 bound the tumor suppressor gastrokine 1 (GKN1) and increased its ubiquitination to reduce the protein stability of GKN1
  • OTUD5 is a specific stabilizer of the UBR5 E3 ligase
