Supplementary information

Ubiquitin is a small regulatory protein found in almost all tissues of eukaryotic organisms. It has a molecular weight of approximately 8.6 kilodaltons. It functions mechanically by attaching to proteins through a process called ubiquitination which involves the formation of an isopeptide bond. Ubiquitin molecules can form polyubiquitin chains through different lysine residues such as K48 and K63 that determine their function. These chains label substrate proteins for various fates including degradation. Ubiquitin is expressed ubiquitously in cells reflecting its essential role in maintaining protein homeostasis.
Biological function summary

The ubiquitin system plays a critical role in regulating protein turnover and quality control within cells. It is part of a larger complex known as the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) which is responsible for degrading proteins that need to be turned over. This process is essential for cell cycle control response to oxidative stress and DNA repair. Ubiquitin's role in tagging proteins for degradation or signaling allows cells to respond quickly to changes in their environment and maintain balance.

Pathways

Ubiquitin functions in several important biological pathways including the Wnt and NF-kB pathways. In the Wnt signaling pathway ubiquitination modulates the stability of key components thereby affecting the pathway's overall activity. In the NF-kB signaling pathway ubiquitin labels inhibitor proteins for degradation which releases and activates NF-kB. These pathways highlight ubiquitin's interaction with proteins such as beta-catenin in Wnt and IkB in NF-kB illustrating how it regulates diverse cellular processes.

The dysfunction of the ubiquitin system is linked to neurodegenerative diseases and cancers. Ubiquitin-related defects in protein degradation can lead to the buildup of unwanted proteins contributing to conditions like Parkinson's disease. Connections with cancer are evident as ubiquitin controls cell cycle proteins and aberrant ubiquitination may drive tumor growth and progression. The protein p53 known to be controlled by ubiquitination plays a significant role in cancer related mechanisms when dysregulated. Understanding and targeting ubiquitin-related pathways may provide new therapeutic opportunities for treating these conditions.

Target data

Ubiquitin. Exists either covalently attached to another protein, or free (unanchored). When covalently bound, it is conjugated to target proteins via an isopeptide bond either as a monomer (monoubiquitin), a polymer linked via different Lys residues of the ubiquitin (polyubiquitin chains) or a linear polymer linked via the initiator Met of the ubiquitin (linear polyubiquitin chains). Polyubiquitin chains, when attached to a target protein, have different functions depending on the Lys residue of the ubiquitin that is linked : Lys-6-linked may be involved in DNA repair; Lys-11-linked is involved in ERAD (endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation) and in cell-cycle regulation; Lys-29-linked is involved in proteotoxic stress response and cell cycle; Lys-33-linked is involved in kinase modification; Lys-48-linked is involved in protein degradation via the proteasome; Lys-63-linked is involved in endocytosis, DNA-damage responses as well as in signaling processes leading to activation of the transcription factor NF-kappa-B. Linear polymer chains formed via attachment by the initiator Met lead to cell signaling. Ubiquitin is usually conjugated to Lys residues of target proteins, however, in rare cases, conjugation to Cys or Ser residues has been observed. When polyubiquitin is free (unanchored-polyubiquitin), it also has distinct roles, such as in activation of protein kinases, and in signaling. During ubiquitination, the acceptor ubiquitin is positioned in the active site via direct interaction with the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes such as UBE2R2 (PubMed : 38326650). As a monoubiquitin, its C-terminal glycine is recognized as a C-degron by Cul2-RING (CRL2) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes (PubMed : 39548056).
