UBA protein domain

UBA
The NMR structure of a UBA domain from the protein ubiquilin-1 (top, cyan) bound to ubiquitin (bottom, orange), illustrating the three-helix bundle structure of the UBA domain. Isoleucine 44, the center of a hydrophobic patch on the ubiquitin surface that interacts with a number of ubiquitin-binding domains, is highlighted in blue. Rendered from PDB: 2JY6​.

Ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domains are protein domains that non-covalently interact with ubiquitin through protein-protein interactions. Ubiquitin is a small protein that is covalently linked to other proteins as part of intracellular signaling pathways, often as a signal for protein degradation. UBA domains are among the most common ubiquitin-binding domains.
