- Abstract
- Human Fas-associated factor 1 (hFAFI) is a novel protein having multiubiquitin-related domains. We investigated the cellular functions of hFAF1 and found that valosin-containing protein (VCP), the multiubiquitin chain-targeting factor in the degradation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, is a binding partner of hFAF1. hFAF1 is associated with the ubiquitinated proteins via the newly identified N-terminal UBA domain and with VCP via the C-terminal UBX domain. The overexpression of hFAF1 and a truncated UBA domain inhibited the degradation of ubiquitinated proteins and increased cell death. These results suggest that hFAF1 binding to ubiquitinated protein and VCP is involved in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. We hypothesize that hFAF1 may serve as a scaffolding protein that regulates protein degradation in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
