Summary
FAU (FAU ubiquitin like and ribosomal protein S30 fusion, HGNC:3597) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q13.1, encoding Ubiquitin-like FUBI-ribosomal protein eS30 fusion protein (P62861). May have pro-apoptotic activity. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 100.0% of cancer cell lines).
This gene is the cellular homolog of the fox sequence in the Finkel-Biskis-Reilly murine sarcoma virus (FBR-MuSV). It encodes a fusion protein consisting of the ubiquitin-like protein fubi at the N terminus and ribosomal protein S30 at the C terminus. It has been proposed that the fusion protein is post-translationally processed to generate free fubi and free ribosomal protein S30. Fubi is a member of the ubiquitin family, and ribosomal protein S30 belongs to the S30E family of ribosomal proteins. Whereas the function of fubi is currently unknown, ribosomal protein S30 is a component of the 40S subunit of the cytoplasmic ribosome and displays antimicrobial activity. Pseudogenes derived from this gene are present in the genome. Similar to ribosomal protein S30, ribosomal proteins S27a and L40 are synthesized as fusion proteins with ubiquitin.

Ubiquitin-like FUBI-ribosomal protein eS30 fusion protein — P62861 (reviewed: P62861)
Alternative names: FAU ubiquitin like and ribosomal protein S30 fusion
All UniProt accessions (5): P62861, E9PM49, E9PMS9, E9PR30, J3KN89
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. May have pro-apoptotic activity. Component of the 40S subunit of the ribosome. Contributes to the assembly and function of 40S ribosomal subunits.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the 40S subunit of the ribosome.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Post-translational modifications. FUBI is cleaved from ribosomal protein S30 by the deubiquitinase USP36 before the assembly of ribosomal protein S30 into pre-40S ribosomal particles. FUBI removal from ribosomal protein S30 is a crucial event for the final maturation of pre-40S particles.
Miscellaneous. FAU encodes a fusion protein consisting of the ubiquitin-like protein FUBI at the N terminus and ribosomal protein S30 at the C terminus. Lacks the typical lysine residues that participate in Ub’s polyubiquitination. However contains a C-terminal di-glycine signature after its proteolytic separation from ribosomal protein S30 and could theoretically be conjugated onto target proteins.
Similarity. In the N-terminal section; belongs to the ubiquitin family. In the C-terminal section; belongs to the eukaryotic ribosomal protein eS30 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 149 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
