IPR003126

Description

IPR003126 is a Zinc finger, UBR-type.

<p>It has been observed that the identity of N-terminal residues of a protein is related to the half life of the protein. This observation yields a rule, called the N-end rule [[cite:PUB00033766]]. Similar but distinct versions of the N-end rule operate in all organisms examined, from mammals to fungi and bacteria. In eukaryotes, the N-end rule pathway is a part of the ubiquitin degradation system. Some proteins that have a very short half life contain a specific motif at their N terminus, the N-degron. It consists of a destabilising N-terminal residue and an internal Lys, which is the site of poly-Ub chain [[cite:PUB00033766], [cite:PUB00033767]].</p> <p>The UBR1 protein was shown to bind specifically to proteins bearing N-terminal residues that are destabilising according to the N-end rule, but not to otherwise identical proteins bearing stabilising N-terminal residues [[cite:PUB00033768]]. UBR1 contains an N-terminal conserved region (the UBR-type zinc finger) which is also found in various proteins implicated in N-degron recognition. The UBR-type zinc finger defines a unique E3 class, most likely N-degron specific [[cite:PUB00033696]].</p>
