The human genome encodes several ubiquitin-like (UBL) domain proteins (UDPs). Members of this protein family are involved in a variety of cellular functions and many are connected to the ubiquitin proteasome system, an essential pathway for protein degradation in eukaryotic cells. Despite their structural similarity, the UBL domains appear to have a range of different targets, resulting in a considerable diversity with respect to UDP function. Here, we give a short summary of the biochemical and physiological roles of the UDPs, which have been linked to human diseases including neurodegeneration and cancer.

人类基因组编码几种类泛素(UBL)结构域蛋白(UDPs)。该蛋白家族的成员参与多种细胞功能,许多成员与泛素蛋白酶体系统相关,而泛素蛋白酶体系统是真核细胞中蛋白质降解的重要途径。尽管UBL结构域在结构上具有相似性,但它们似乎具有一系列不同的靶标,导致UDP功能存在相当大的多样性。在这里,我们简要总结了UDPs的生化和生理作用,这些作用与包括神经退行性疾病和癌症在内的人类疾病有关。出版历史:从Current BioData的靶向蛋白质数据库(TPdb;http://www.targetedproteinsdb.com)重新发布。
