Function

function

Catalyzes the covalent attachment of the prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein modifier Pup to the proteasomal substrate proteins, thereby targeting them for proteasomal degradation. This tagging system is termed pupylation. The ligation reaction involves the side-chain carboxylate of the C-terminal glutamate of Pup and the side-chain amino group of a substrate lysine.

Miscellaneous

The reaction mechanism probably proceeds via the activation of Pup by phosphorylation of its C-terminal glutamate, which is then subject to nucleophilic attack by the substrate lysine, resulting in an isopeptide bond and the release of phosphate as a good leaving group.

Catalytic activity

  • ATP + [prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein]-L-glutamate + [protein]-L-lysine = ADP + phosphate + N6-([prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein]-gamma-L-glutamyl)-[protein]-L-lysine.
