| Name | ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 |
| Description | UFM1 is a ubiquitin-like protein that is conjugated to target proteins by E1-like activating enzyme UBA5 (UBE1DC1; MIM 610552) and E2-like conjugating enzyme UFC1 (MIM 610554) in a manner analogous to ubiquitylation (see UBE2M; MIM 603173) (Komatsu et al., 2004 [PubMed 15071506]).[supplied by OMIM, Dec 2008] |
| Summary |
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nUFM1 is a recently discovered ubiquitin‐like modifier that is conjugated to target proteins via a dedicated “ufmylation” cascade. This pathway is initiated by the E1‐activating enzyme UBA5, relays through the E2 enzyme UFC1, and is executed in part by novel E3 ligases such as UFL1. Detailed biochemical and structural studies—including trans‐binding mechanisms that require UBA5 dimerization, specific interactions mediated by key residues (e.g., a defined UFM1 interacting sequence), and regulated ATP binding—reveal that the UFM1 system diverges from canonical ubiquitination. NMR and crystallographic analyses have further shown that the conformational plasticity of UFM1 and the oligomeric transitions of UBA5 underpin the efficiency and specificity of target modification."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "13"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nBeyond its core enzymatic role, the UFM1 system is integral to maintaining cellular homeostasis. Ufmylation has been shown to regulate the function and structure of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), ensuring proper protein quality control and efficient vesicle trafficking.

In addition, ufmylation of proteins such as MRE11 is critical for the DNA damage response—facilitating efficient activation of ATM kinase, homologous recombination repair, and ultimately genome stability."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "14", "end_ref": "18"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nDeregulation of ufmylation is increasingly implicated in human disease.
