The E3 ligase E6AP/UBE3A has a dedicated binding site in the 26S proteasome provided by the RAZUL domain of substrate receptor hRpn10/S5a/PSMD4. Guided by RAZUL sequence similarity, we test and demonstrate here that the E6AP AZUL binds transiently to the UBA of proteasomal shuttle factor UBQLN1/2. Despite a weak binding affinity, E6AP AZUL is recruited to UBQLN2 biomolecular condensates in vitro and E6AP interacts with UBQLN1/2 in cellulo. Steady-state and transfer nuclear Overhauser effect...

AlphaFold 2 and NMR Spectroscopy: Partners to Understand Protein Structure, Dynamics and Function
The artificial intelligence program AlphaFold 2 is revolutionizing the field of protein structure determination as it accurately predicts the 3D structure of two thirds of the human proteome. Its predictions can be used directly as structural models or indirectly as aids for experimental structure determination using X-ray crystallography, CryoEM or NMR spectroscopy. Nevertheless, AlphaFold 2 can neither afford insight into how proteins fold, nor can it determine protein stability or...

Zn-binding AZUL domain of human ubiquitin protein ligase Ube3A
Zn-binding AZUL domain of human ubiquitin protein ligase Ube3A
Abstract Ube3A (also referred to as E6AP for E6 Associated Protein) is a E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase implicated in the development of Angelman syndrome by controlling degradation of synaptic protein Arc and oncogenic papilloma virus infection by controlling degradation of p53. This article describe the solution NMR structure of the conserved N-terminal domain of human Ube3A (residues 24-87) that contains two residues (Cys44 and Arg62) found to be mutated in patients with Angelman syndrome. The structure of this domain...
