== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/UBR5_HUMAN UBR5_HUMAN] E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which is a component of the N-end rule pathway. Recognizes and binds to proteins bearing specific N-terminal residues that are destabilizing according to the N-end rule, leading to their ubiquitination and subsequent degradation (By similarity). Involved in maturation and/or transcriptional regulation of mRNA by activating CDK9 by polyubiquitination. May play a role in control of cell cycle progression. May have tumor suppressor function. Regulates DNA topoisomerase II binding protein (TopBP1) in the DNA damage response. Plays an essential role in extraembryonic development. Ubiquitinates acetylated PCK1. 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.<ref>PMID:21127351</ref> <ref>PMID:21726808</ref> <ref>PMID:22884692</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The human UBR5 is a single polypeptide chain homology to E6AP C terminus (HECT)-type E3 ubiquitin ligase essential for embryonic development in mammals. Dysregulated UBR5 functions like an oncoprotein to promote cancer growth and metastasis. Here, we report that UBR5 assembles into a dimer and a tetramer. Our cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures reveal that two crescent-shaped UBR5 monomers assemble head to tail to form the dimer, and two dimers bind face to face to form the cage-like tetramer with all four catalytic HECT domains facing the central cavity. Importantly, the N-terminal region of one subunit and the HECT of the other form an "intermolecular jaw" in the dimer. We show the jaw-lining residues are important for function, suggesting that the intermolecular jaw functions to recruit ubiquitin-loaded E2 to UBR5. Further work is needed to understand how oligomerization regulates UBR5 ligase activity. This work provides a framework for structure-based anticancer drug development and contributes to a growing appreciation of E3 ligase diversity.
