TI  - Crystal structure of the human ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 and interactions with
      ubiquitin pathway enzymes.
PG  - 34983-91
AB  - The NEDD8/Rub1 class of ubiquitin-like proteins has been implicated in
      progression of the cell cycle from G1 into S phase. These molecules undergo a
      metabolism that parallels that of ubiquitin and involves specific interactions
      with many different proteins. We report here the crystal structure of recombinant
      human NEDD8 refined at 1.6-A resolution to an R factor of 21.9%. As expected from
      the high sequence similarity (57% identical), the NEDD8 structure closely
      resembles that reported previously for ubiquitin. We also show that recombinant
      human NEDD8 protein is activated, albeit inefficiently, by the
      ubiquitin-activating (E1) enzyme and that NEDD8 can be transferred from E1 to the
      ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2-25K. E2-25K adds NEDD8 to a polyubiquitin chain
      with an efficiency similar to that of ubiquitin. A chimeric tetramer composed of 
      three ubiquitins and one histidine-tagged NEDD8 binds to the 26 S proteasome with
      an affinity similar to that of tetraubiquitin. Seven residues that differ from
      the corresponding residues in ubiquitin, but are conserved between NEDD8
      orthologs, are candidates for mediating interactions with NEDD8-specific
      partners. One such residue, Ala-72 (Arg in ubiquitin), is shown to perform a key 
      role in selecting against reaction with the ubiquitin E1 enzyme, thereby acting
      to prevent the inappropriate diversion of NEDD8 into ubiquitin-specific pathways.
