Summary
UFD1 (ubiquitin recognition factor in ER associated degradation 1, HGNC:12520) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 22q11.21, encoding Ubiquitin recognition factor in ER-associated degradation protein 1 (Q92890). Essential component of the ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic pathway which degrades ubiquitin fusion proteins. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 99.8% of cancer cell lines).
The protein encoded by this gene forms a complex with two other proteins, nuclear protein localization-4 and valosin-containing protein, and this complex is necessary for the degradation of ubiquitinated proteins. In addition, this complex controls the disassembly of the mitotic spindle and the formation of a closed nuclear envelope after mitosis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Catch 22 syndrome as well as cardiac and craniofacial defects. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 18.

- Ufd1l is localized around the nucleus and it does not interfere with Fas-and ceramide-mediated apoptosis. (PMID:12910480)
- Ufd1-nuclear protein localization 4 is a negative regulator of retrotranslocation, delaying the retrotranslocation of endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation substrates independently of its association with VCP (PMID:17331469)
- This study identifies Ufd1 as a cofactor of gp78, reveals an unappreciated function of Ufd1 in the ubiquitination reaction during endoplasmic reticulum -associated degradation, and illustrates that Ufd1 plays a critical role in cholesterol metabolism. (PMID:17681147)
- allelic associations of the UFD1L locus identified; 4-SNP haplotype analysis showed strong association with schizophrenia; possibility that a disease-resistant variant may be carried by two or more haplotypes due to frequent recombination during meiosis. (PMID:18270977)
- This favors the model where the Ufd1-Npl4 dimer forms a regulatory gate at the exit from the retrotranslocone, rather than actively promoting retrotranslocation like the p97VCP ATPase. (PMID:18586029)
- This study suggested that AA genotype of UFD1L gene, which is involved in neurodevelopmental processes, may contribute to early-onset schizophrenia. Therefore, rs5992403 polymorphism may not be a risk factor for schizophrenia. (PMID:20471029)
- Data suggest that the human cytomegalovirus dislocation reaction in US2 cells is independent of the p97 cofactor Ufd1-Npl4, and different retrotranslocation mechanisms can employ distinct p97 ATPase complexes to dislocate substrates. (PMID:20702414)
- Data establish Cdc48/p97-Ufd1-Npl4 as a crucial negative regulator of Aurora B early in mitosis of human somatic cells and suggest that the activity of Aurora B on chromosomes needs to be restrained to ensure faithful chromosome segregation. (PMID:21486945)

- p97-Ufd1-Npl4 is an integral part of G2/M checkpoint signaling and thereby suppresses chromosome instability. (PMID:24429874)
- The study revealed a regulatory role of the p97-Npl4-Ufd1 complex in regulating a partial degradation of the NF-kappaB subunit p100. (PMID:26112410)

Function. Essential component of the ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic pathway which degrades ubiquitin fusion proteins. The ternary complex containing UFD1, VCP and NPLOC4 binds ubiquitinated proteins and is necessary for the export of misfolded proteins from the ER to the cytoplasm, where they are degraded by the proteasome. The NPLOC4-UFD1-VCP complex regulates spindle disassembly at the end of mitosis and is necessary for the formation of a closed nuclear envelope. It may be involved in the development of some ectoderm-derived structures. Acts as a negative regulator of type I interferon production via the complex formed with VCP and NPLOC4, which binds to RIGI and recruits RNF125 to promote ubiquitination and degradation of RIGI.
Subunit / interactions. Heterodimer with NPLOC4, this heterodimer binds VCP and inhibits Golgi membrane fusion. Interacts with USP13. Interacts with ZFAND2B; probably through VCP.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cytosol.
Tissue specificity. Found in adult heart, skeletal muscle and pancreas, and in fetal liver and kidney.
Pathway. Protein degradation; proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent pathway.
Miscellaneous. Major isoform.
Similarity. Belongs to the UFD1 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 104 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.
