Function
Ubiquitin-fold modifier (Ufm1) is a member of the ubiquitin-like family. Ufm1 is covalently attached to Lys residues of substrate proteins[1]. This attachment is called Ufmylation and requires Ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme (Uba5) and Ufm1-conjugating enzyme (Ufc1). Ufmylation is a type of post-translational modification that deals with fine-tuned and complex cellular activities and is involved in reticulophagy induced by ER stress[2]. Ufmylation is aribosomal modification specialized to facilitate metazoan-specific protein biogenesis at the ER[3].
Relevance
Ufm1 participates in maintenance of homeostasis and protection from inflammatory disease[4].
Structural highlights
The 3D structure of the complex between Ufm1 and UBA shows the Ufm1 critical binding sequence and the interactions between the 2 modifying enzymes [5].
