Target data

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase involved in different protein quality control pathways in the cytoplasm and nucleus (PubMed : 29033132, PubMed : 33208877, PubMed : 37478846, PubMed : 37478862). Mainly acts as a ubiquitin chain elongator that extends pre-ubiquitinated substrates (PubMed : 29033132, PubMed : 37409633). Component of the N-end rule pathway : ubiquitinates proteins bearing specific N-terminal residues that are destabilizing according to the N-end rule, leading to their degradation (By similarity). Recognizes type-1 N-degrons, containing positively charged amino acids (Arg, Lys and His) (By similarity). Together with UBR4, part of a cytoplasm protein quality control pathway that prevents protein aggregation by catalyzing assembly of heterotypic 'Lys-11'-/'Lys-48'-linked branched ubiquitin chains on aggregated proteins, leading to substrate recognition by the segregase p97/VCP and degradation by the proteasome : UBR5 is probably branching multiple 'Lys-48'-linked chains of substrates initially modified with mixed conjugates by UBR4 (PubMed : 29033132). Together with ITCH, catalyzes 'Lys-48'-/'Lys-63'-branched ubiquitination of TXNIP, leading to its degradation : UBR5 mediates branching of 'Lys-48'-linked chains of substrates initially modified with 'Lys-63'-linked conjugates by ITCH (PubMed : 29378950). Catalytic component of a nuclear protein quality control pathway that mediates ubiquitination and degradation of unpaired transcription factors (i.e. transcription factors that are not assembled into functional multiprotein complexes) : specifically recognizes and binds degrons that are not accessible when transcription regulators are associated with their coactivators (PubMed : 37478846, PubMed : 37478862). Ubiquitinates various unpaired transcription regulator (MYC, SUPT4H1, SUPT5H, CDC20 and MCRS1), as well as ligand-bound nuclear receptors (ESR1, NR1H3, NR3C1, PGR, RARA, RXRA AND VDR) that are not associated with their nuclear receptor coactivators (NCOAs) (PubMed : 33208877, PubMed : 37478846, PubMed : 37478862). Involved in maturation and/or transcriptional regulation of mRNA by mediating polyubiquitination and activation of CDK9 (PubMed : 21127351). Also acts as a regulator of DNA damage response by acting as a suppressor of RNF168, an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that promotes accumulation of 'Lys-63'-linked histone H2A and H2AX at DNA damage sites, thereby acting as a guard against excessive spreading of ubiquitinated chromatin at damaged chromosomes (PubMed : 22884692). Regulates DNA topoisomerase II binding protein (TopBP1) in the DNA damage response (PubMed : 11714696). Ubiquitinates acetylated PCK1 (PubMed : 21726808). Acts as a positive regulator of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway by mediating (1) ubiquitination and stabilization of CTNNB1, and (2) 'Lys-48'-linked ubiquitination and degradation of TLE3 (PubMed : 21118991, PubMed : 28689657). Promotes disassembly of the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC) from the APC/C complex by catalyzing ubiquitination of BUB1B, BUB3 and CDC20 (PubMed : 35217622). Plays an essential role in extraembryonic development (By similarity). Required for the maintenance of skeletal tissue homeostasis by acting as an inhibitor of hedgehog (HH) signaling (By similarity).
