"In the absence of a structure of OTUB1 bound to Lys48 diubiquitin and E2, we took advantage of the observation that the two ubiquitins bound to the proximal and distal sites of OTUB1 mimic the binding of Lys48 diubiquitin xref , xref to examine the structural effect of E2 binding on the N-terminal ubiquitin binding helix of OTUB1."
sparser
"The complete repression of OTUB1 activity at >10 µM free ubiquitin is presumably due to formation of the inhibited OTUB1-Ub-UBCH5B~Ub complex ( xref ), in which free ubiquitin binds to the OTUB1 distal ubiquitin-binding site while the ubiquitin conjugated to UBCH5B binds to the OTUB1 proximal site, thus precluding binding of the Lys48 diubiquitin substrate."
sparser
"The N-terminal residues of the OTU domain in OTUB1 are required for binding to UBC13 ~ Ub and this interaction is facilitated by the binding of a free Ub to a second site in OTUB1, resulting in allosteric change in the OTU domain and the formation of a ubiquitin-binding helix in the N-terminus which increase its affinity for UBC13-Ub."
sparser
"These include interaction of the E2 with an N-terminal alpha helix and the C-terminus of OTUB1, interaction of the donor ubiquitin (ubiquitin conjugated to the E2) with the N-terminal alpha helix and OTU core of OTUB1 and, unexpectedly, interaction of a free ubiquitin with the C-terminus of OTUB1."

"Although this S1 site is on a similar surface of the OTU domain, the distinctive recognition elements (to be discussed in a broader context below) position the bound Ub moiety in a drastically different orientation that is 107° or 167° rotated from the vOTU‐Ub or OTUB1:Ub structures, respectively (Fig xref D; Akutsu et al , xref ; Juang et al , xref )."

"The binding of a free ubiquitin at the distal site allosterically triggers a conformational change in the OUT domain and increases the OTUB1 binding affinity to the donor ubiquitin, thus promoting the binding of OTUB1 and donor ubiquitin and disrupting the E2-ubiquitin interaction."

"To accommodate structural differences between Ub and ISG15, the viral protease binds the β-grasp folds of Ub and C-terminal Ub-like domain of ISG15 in an orientation that is rotated nearly 75° with respect to that observed for Ub bound to a representative eukaryotic OTU domain from yeast."

"This process involves the binding of the distal ubiquitin to the catalytic site of OTUB1, triggering a conformational change that enables the binding of the proximal ubiquitin to the N-terminal region of OTUB1, along with the proper positioning of the K48 scissile bond for cleavage ( xref )."
sparser
"The binding of free ubiquitin to the distal ubiquitin binding site of OTUB1 triggers conformational changes in the OTU domain and the formation of a ubiquitin-binding helix in the N terminus of OTUB1, promoting tight interaction between OTUB1 and ubiquitin-charged UBC13 [ xref ]."
sparser
"The previous crystallographic analyses show that the residues amino-terminal to the OUT domain of OTUB1 (85–98 aa) are required for binding to UBC13∼Ub and inhibition of K63Ub synthesis ( xref ), free ubiquitin binding to OTUB1's C-terminus allosterically triggers the formation of the E2/ubiquitin–binding alpha helix in OTUB1's N-terminus and that is essential for E2 inhibition ( xref ), and deletion of the first 45 residues of OTUB1 abolishes the ability of OTUB1 to noncanonically inhibit E2s ( xref )."
sparser
"Crystal structures of an OTUB1-UBC13 complex and of OTUB1 bound to ubiquitin aldehyde and a chemical UBC13~Ub conjugate show that binding of free ubiquitin to OTUB1 triggers conformational changes in the OTU domain and formation of a ubiquitin-binding helix in the N-terminus, thus promoting binding of the conjugated donor ubiquitin in UBC13~Ub to OTUB1."
sparser
"Taken together, our results indicate that the ability of OTUB1 to bind preferentially to the UBC13~Ub conjugate and inhibit ubiquitin transfer is allosterically regulated by free ubiquitin binding to the distal site of OTUB1, which triggers capture of the conjugated ubiquitin in the OTUB1 proximal site."
