Comments [?]

Function Protein modifier that is covalently attached to lysine residues of substrate proteins, thereby targeting them for proteasomal degradation. The tagging system is termed pupylation.
Pathway Protein degradation; proteasomal Pup-dependent pathway.
Subunit Strongly interacts with the proteasome-associated ATPase ARC through a hydrophobic interface; the interacting region of Pup lies in its C-terminal half. There is one Pup binding site per ARC hexamer ring.
Domain The N-terminal unstructured half of Pup provides a signal required to initiate unfolding and degradation by the proteasome but is not needed for pupylation, while the C-terminal helical half of Pup interacts with ARC to target proteins to the proteasome.
case <FTTag:deamidation>
Ptm Is modified by deamidation of its C-terminal glutamine to glutamate by the deamidase Dop, a prerequisite to the subsequent pupylation process.
end case
Similarity Belongs to the prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein family.

Comments Pup protein sequences end with either a GGQ motif or a GGE motif. Those ending by GGQ must be deaminated into GGE by the deamidase Dop to be able to link the protein target during the pupylation process.
