NUB1


Description

The NUB1 (negative regulator of ubiquitin like proteins 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 7.

NEDD8 ultimate buster 1 is a protein encoded by the NUB1 gene in humans. It interacts with and negatively regulates NEDD8, a ubiquitin-like protein that covalently conjugates to cullin family members. NUB1 has been shown to interact with NEDD8, UBD, and AIPL1.

NUB1 specifically down-regulates the NEDD8 conjugation system. It recruits NEDD8, UBD, and their conjugates to the proteasome for degradation. Isoform 1 is more efficient than isoform 2 in promoting NEDD8 degradation.

NUB1 is also known as BS4, NUB1L, NYREN18.
