NEDD8 ultimate buster-1 long (NUB1L) protein promotes transfer of NEDD8 to proteasome for degradation through the P97UFD1/NPL4 complex.

The NEDD8 protein and neddylation levels in cells are modulated by NUB1L or NUB1 through proteasomal degradation, but the underlying molecular mechanism is not well understood. Here, we report that NUB1L down-regulated the protein levels of NEDD8 and neddylation through specifically recognizing NEDD8 and P97/VCP. NUB1L directly interacted with NEDD8, ...
but not with ubiquitin, on the key residue Asn51 of NEDD8, and with P97/VCP on its positively charged VCP-binding motif. In coordination with the P97-UFD1-NPL4 complex (P97UFD1/NPL4), NUB1L promotes transfer of NEDD8 to proteasome for degradation. This mechanism is also exemplified by the canonical neddylation of cullin 1 for SCF ubiquitin E3 ligases that is exquisitely regulated by the turnover of NEDD8.
