PNGase/UBA or UBX (PUB) domain of UBXD1 This PUB domain is found in p97 adaptor protein UBXD1 (UBX domain-containing protein 1, also called UBXD6). It functions as a p97 (also known as valosin-containing protein or VCP) adaptor by interacting with the D1 and/or D2 ATPase domains. The type II AAA+ ATPase p97 is involved in a variety of cellular processes such as the deglycosylation of ERAD substrates, membrane fusion, transcription factor activation and cell cycle regulation through differential binding to specific adaptor proteins. The PUB domain in UBX-domain protein 1 (UBXD1), which is widely expressed in higher eukaryotes, except for fungi, and which is involved in substrate recruitment to p97, interacts strongly with the C-terminus of p97. UBXD1 also interacts with HRD1 and HERP, both components of the ERAD pathway, via p97. It is possibly involved in aggresome formation; aggresomes are perinuclear compartments that contain misfolded proteins colocalized with centrosome markers.
