The ESCRT-I protein Tsg101 plays a critical role in viral budding and endocytic sorting. Although Tsg101 is known to recognize monoubiquitin (Ub<sub>1</sub>), here we show that it can also bind several diubiquitins (K48-Ub<sub>2</sub>, N-Ub<sub>2</sub>, and K63-Ub<sub>2</sub>), with a preference for K63-linked Ub<sub>2</sub>. The NMR structure of the Tsg101:K63-Ub<sub>2</sub> complex showed that while the Ub<sub>1</sub>-binding site accommodates the distal domain of Ub<sub>2</sub>, the proximal ...[more]
