Summary

UBA3 (ubiquitin like modifier activating enzyme 3, HGNC:12470) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3p14.1, encoding NEDD8-activating enzyme E1 catalytic subunit (Q8TBC4). Catalytic subunit of the dimeric UBA3-NAE1 E1 enzyme. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 83.9% of cell lines).

The modification of proteins with ubiquitin is an important cellular mechanism for targeting abnormal or short-lived proteins for degradation. Ubiquitination involves at least three classes of enzymes: ubiquitin-activating enzymes, or E1s, ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, or E2s, and ubiquitin-protein ligases, or E3s. This gene encodes a member of the E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme family. The encoded enzyme associates with AppBp1, an amyloid beta precursor protein binding protein, to form a heterodimer, and then the enzyme complex activates NEDD8, a ubiquitin-like protein, which regulates cell division, signaling and embryogenesis. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

Additional cross-species homologs

Sequence homologs in species beyond Ensembl Compara’s model organisms, by Diamond local protein alignment (% sequence identity; best hit per species). Lower-identity rows are more distant homologs. The matched accessions’ gene symbols aren’t in biobtree yet, so each row shows the UniProt accession.

Protein

Protein identifiers

NEDD8-activating enzyme E1 catalytic subunit — Q8TBC4 (reviewed: Q8TBC4)

Alternative names: NEDD8-activating enzyme E1C, Ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1C, Ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme 3

All UniProt accessions (4): Q8TBC4, F8W8D4, F8WAT6, F8WF86

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Catalytic subunit of the dimeric UBA3-NAE1 E1 enzyme. E1 activates NEDD8 by first adenylating its C-terminal glycine residue with ATP, thereafter linking this residue to the side chain of the catalytic cysteine, yielding a NEDD8-UBA3 thioester and free AMP. E1 finally transfers NEDD8 to the catalytic cysteine of UBE2M. Down-regulates steroid receptor activity. Necessary for cell cycle progression.

Subunit / interactions. Heterodimer of UBA3 and NAE1. Interacts with NEDD8, UBE2F and UBE2M. Binds ESR1 and ESR2 with bound steroid ligand. Interacts with TBATA.

Tissue specificity. Ubiquitously expressed.

Activity regulation. Binding of TP53BP2 to the regulatory subunit NAE1 decreases activity.

Pathway. Protein modification; protein neddylation.

Miscellaneous. Arg-211 acts as a selectivity gate, preventing misactivation of ubiquitin by this NEDD8-specific E1 complex.

Similarity. Belongs to the ubiquitin-activating E1 family. UBA3 subfamily.
