General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function Ufd2 catalyses K48-linked multi-monoubiquitination on K29-linked ubiquitin chains assembled by the ubiquitin ligase Ufd4, resulting in branched ubiquitin chains. The reaction depends on the interaction of K29-linked ubiquitin chains with two N-terminal loops of Ufd2. Only following the addition of K48-linked ubiquitin to substrates modified with K29-linked ubiquitin chains, the substrates can be escorted to the proteasome for degradation. This ubiquitin chain linkage switching reaction is essential for ERAD, oleic acid and acid pH resistance in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
