UBA domain found in UBX domain-containing protein 1 (UBXN1) and similar proteins UBXN1, also called SAPK substrate protein 1 (SAKS1) or UBA/UBX 33.3 kDa protein, is a widely expressed protein containing an N-terminal ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain, a coiled-coil region, and a C-terminal ubiquitin-like (UBX) domain. It binds polyubiquitin and valosin-containing protein (VCP), and has been identified as a substrate for stress-activated protein kinases (SAPKs). Moreover, UBXN1 specifically binds to Homer2b. It may also interact with ubiquitin (Ub) and may be involved in the Ub-proteasome proteolytic pathways. In addition, UBXN1 can associate with autoubiquitinated BRCA1 tumor suppressor and inhibit its enzymatic function through its UBA domain.
