K48- and K63-linked ubiquitin chain interactome reveals branch- and length-specific ubiquitin interactors.

ABSTRACT: The ubiquitin (Ub) code denotes the complex Ub architectures, including Ub chains of different lengths, linkage types, and linkage combinations, which enable ubiquitination to control a wide range of protein fates. Although many linkage-specific interactors have been described, how interactors are able to decode more complex architectures is not fully understood. We conducted a Ub interactor screen, in humans and yeast, using Ub chains of varying lengths, as well as homotypic and heterotypic branched chains of the two most abundant linkage types-lysine 48-linked (K48) and lysine 63-linked (K63) Ub. We identified some of the first K48/K63-linked branch-specific Ub interactors, including histone ADP-ribosyltransferase PARP10/ARTD10, E3 ligase UBR4, and huntingtin-interacting protein HIP1. Fu
