This entry represents the N-terminal of E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases UBR4 (POE or PUSHOVER in Drosophila), which are components of the N-rule pathway, identified as noncanonical N-recognins implicated in bulk lysosomal degradation and autophagy. These are extraordinarily large proteins that recognise and bind to proteins with N-terminal destabilising residues according to the N-end rule leading them to their ubiquitination and degradation. These proteins share a UBR box (Pfam:PF02207) with others E3-ligases UBR box proteins but UBR4 lacks the ubiquitylation domain, suggesting that it may interact with other catalytic proteins [1,2,3].
