E2-like enzyme which specifically catalyzes the second step in ufmylation (PubMed:15071506, PubMed:29868776, PubMed:30626644, PubMed:34588452, PubMed:35394863, PubMed:36121123, PubMed:38383789). Accepts the ubiquitin-like modifier UFM1 from the E1 enzyme UBA5 and forms an intermediate with UFM1 via a thioester linkage (PubMed:15071506, PubMed:29868776, PubMed:34588452, PubMed:38383789). Ufmylation is involved in various processes, such as ribosome recycling, response to DNA damage, interferon response or reticulophagy (also called ER-phagy) (PubMed:27351204, PubMed:32160526, PubMed:35394863, PubMed:37036982, PubMed:38383789).

UFC1 also known as ubiquitin-fold modifier-conjugating enzyme 1 or UFM1-conjugating enzyme 1 functions mechanically by facilitating the conjugation of ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 (UFM1) to target substrates. It exhibits a molecular mass of approximately 20.8 kDa. UFC1 is expressed in a variety of tissues including liver kidney and heart indicating its widespread role in cellular processes. As an essential component in the UFM1 system UFC1 works closely with other proteins to regulate protein modification through UFMylation.
UFC1 is involved in the process of UFMylation which modifies proteins through the attachment of UFM1 much like ubiquitination influences protein degradation and signaling. UFC1 forms part of a complex that also includes UBA5 and UFL1 the E1 activating enzyme and E3 ligase respectively. This UFMylation system is necessary for endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) contributing to the maintenance of protein homeostasis within cells. The disruption of this modification process can impact cellular stress response and protein quality control mechanisms.
UFC1 plays a critical role in the ER stress response and protein quality control pathways. Within these pathways UFC1 interacts with proteins such as UFM1 and UFL1 to mediate the UFMylation of target proteins during cellular stress. Additionally UFC1 has been linked to pathways regulating autophagy where it indirectly influences the degradation of defective proteins. This interaction ultimately affects the cellular response to misfolded proteins and is pivotal for maintaining cellular equilibrium.
UFC1 has implications in conditions such as cancer and neurological disorders. Abnormalities in UFMylation can contribute to the dysregulation of protein homeostasis which is frequently observed in cancerous cells. In the context of neurological disorders the dysfunctional UFM1 system involving UFC1 can result in impaired neuronal homeostasis. Additionally UFC1's relationship with proteins like UFM1 and UFL1 highlights its importance in the pathological processes of these diseases positioning it as a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

UFL1 monoufmylates histone H4 and promotes ATM activation. a Selected proteins identified by mass spectrometry from irradiated 293T cell expressing Flag-His vector or Flag-His-UFM1. N = 1 sample in each group was analyzed. The full list of identified proteins is provided in Supplementary Data 1. Among histone proteins, only H4 is enriched in the Flag-His-UFM1 purification (9 unique/20 total peptides) compared to the Flag-His purification (6 unique/7 total peptides), suggesting that H4 might be ufmylated. b Flag-His-ufmylated proteins were purified from 293T cells before and after IR (2 Gy) after purification with nickel beads and anti-Flag agarose. The immunoprecipitates were detected with indicated antibodies. c Flag-His-ufmylated H4 was purified from control and UFL1 knockdown cells with or without 2 Gy IR and blotted with indicated antibodies. d In vitro ufmylation assay. Purified UBA5, UFC1, UFL1, UFM1, and H4 proteins were incubated together in the presence of ATP and MgCl2 at 30 °C for 90 min. The reaction products were probed with indicated antibodies. e Wildtype (WT) histone H4 and 11 different single lysine (K) to arginine (R) mutants were transfected into U2OS cells. Flag and His tandem purification was performed and H4 ufmylation was analyzed. f Constructs expressing WT or K31R H4 were transfected into U2OS tet-on UFL1 shRNA expressing cells, and the cells were treated with doxycycline as indicated. Thirty minutes after 2 Gy IR, the cells were harvested and blotted with indicated antibodies. g Colony formation of U2OS cells expressing WT H4 or H4K31R following IR.
