UBA-like domain found in DCN1-like protein DCNL1, DCNL2 and similar proteins DCNL1 (defective in cullin neddylation protein 1-like protein 1), also called DCUN1 domain-containing protein 1, is encoded by squamous cell carcinoma-related oncogene SCCRO (DCUN1D1). It interacts with known cullin isoforms as well as ROC1, Ubc12 and CAND1, the components of the neddylation pathway. It plays an essential role in the neddylation E3 complex and participates in the release of inhibitory effects of CAND1 on cullin-RING ligase E3 complex assembly and activity. DCNL1 contains an N-terminal ubiquitin-associated (UBA)-like domain and a C-terminal cullin binding domain that binds to cullins and Rbx-1, components of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex for neddylation. DCNL2 (defective in cullin neddylation protein 1-like protein 2), also called DCUN1 domain-containing protein 2, is encoded by gene DCUN1D2. Although its biological function remains unclear, DCNL2 shows high sequence similarity with DCNL1 and may also contribute to neddylation of cullin components of SCF-type E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes. Like DCNL1, DCNL2 contains an N-terminal UBA-like domain and a C-terminal cullin binding domain. |
