Tudor domain found in Tudor domain-containing protein 3 (TDRD3) and similar proteins; TDRD3 is a scaffolding protein that specifically recognizes and binds dimethylarginine-containing proteins. In the nucleus, it acts as a coactivator; it recognizes and binds asymmetric dimethylation on the core histone tails associated with transcriptional activation (H3R17me2a and H4R3me2a) and recruits proteins at these arginine-methylated loci. In the cytoplasm, it may play a role in the assembly and/or disassembly of mRNA stress granules and in the regulation of translation of target mRNAs by binding Arg/Gly-rich motifs (GAR) in dimethylarginine-containing proteins. TDRD3 contains one Tudor domain. The Tudor domain binds to proteins with dimethylated arginine or lysine residues, and may also bind methylated histone tails to facilitate protein-protein interactions.

UBA/TS-N domain; This small domain is composed of three alpha helices. This family includes the previously defined UBA and TS-N domains. The UBA-domain (ubiquitin associated domain) is a novel sequence motif found in several proteins having connections to ubiquitin and the ubiquitination pathway. The structure of the UBA domain consists of a compact three helix bundle. This domain is found at the N terminus of EF-TS hence the name TS-N. The structure of EF-TS is known and this domain is implicated in its interaction with EF-TU. The domain has been found in non EF-TS proteins such as alpha-NAC and MJ0280.

Tudor domain superfamily; The Tudor domain is a conserved structural domain, originally identified in the Tudor protein of Drosophila, that adopts a beta-barrel-like core structure containing four short beta-strands followed by an alpha-helical region. It binds to proteins with dimethylated arginine or lysine residues, and may also bind methylated histone tails to facilitate protein-protein interactions. Tudor domain-containing proteins may mediate protein-protein interactions required for various DNA-templated biological processes, such as RNA metabolism, as well as histone modification and the DNA damage response. Members of this superfamily contain one or more copies of the Tudor domain.

UBA domain found in proteins involved in ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis; The ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domains are commonly occurring sequence motifs found in proteins involved in ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. They contribute to ubiquitin (Ub) binding or ubiquitin-like (UbL) domain binding. However, some kinds of UBA domains can only the bind UbL domain, but not the Ub domain. UBA domains are normally comprised of compact three-helix bundles which contain a conserved GF/Y-loop. They can bind polyubiquitin with high affinity. They also bind monoubiquitin and other proteins. Most UBA domain-containing proteins have one UBA domain, but some harbor two or three UBA domains.

UBA domain found in trinucleotide repeat-containing gene 6C protein (TNRC6C) and similar proteins; TNRC6C is one of three GW182 paralogs in mammalian genomes. It is enriched in P-bodies and important for efficient miRNA-mediated repression. TNRC6C is composed of an N-terminal glycine/tryptophan (G/W)-rich region containing an Ago hook responsible for Ago protein-binding; a ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain and a glutamine (Q)-rich region in the middle region; a middle G/W-rich region, a RNA recognition motif (RRM), also called RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), and a C-terminal G/W-rich region, at the C-terminus. A bipartite C-terminal region including the middle and C-terminal G/W-rich regions is referred as silencing domain that triggers silencing of bound transcripts by inhibiting protein expression and promoting mRNA decay via deadenylation. The C-terminal half containing the RRM domain functions as a key effector domain mediating protein synthesis repression by TNRC6C.

fourth Tudor domain found in Tudor domain-containing protein 6 (TDRD6) and similar proteins; TDRD6, also called antigen NY-CO-45 or cancer/testis antigen 41.2 (CT41.2), is a testis-specific expressed protein that was localized to the chromatoid bodies in germ cells, and is involved in spermiogenesis, chromatoid body formation, and for proper precursor and mature miRNA expression. Mutations in TDRD6 may be associated with human male infertility and early embryonic lethality. TDRD6 contains seven Tudor domains. This model corresponds to the fourth one. The Tudor domain binds to proteins with dimethylated arginine or lysine residues, and may also bind methylated histone tails to facilitate protein-protein interactions.

UBA2 domain found in ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 5 (UBP5); UBP5, also called deubiquitinating enzyme 5, Isopeptidase T (IsoT), ubiquitin thioesterase 5, or ubiquitin-specific-processing protease 5, is a deubiquitinating enzyme largely responsible for the disassembly of the majority of unanchored polyubiquitin in the cell. Zinc is required for its catalytic activity. UBP5 contains four ubiquitin (Ub)-binding sites including an N-terminal zinc finger (ZnF) domain, a catalytic ubiquitin-specific processing protease (UBP) domain (catalytic C-box and H-box), and two ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domains. ZnF domain binds the proximal ubiquitin. UBP domain forms the active site. UBA domains are involved in binding linear or K48-linked polyubiquitin. This model corresponds to the UBA2 domain.

Tudor domain found in PHD finger protein 20 (PHF20), PHF20-like protein 1 (PHF20L1), and similar proteins; PHF20, also called Glioma-expressed antigen 2, hepatocellular carcinoma-associated antigen 58, novel zinc finger protein, or transcription factor TZP (referring to Tudor and zinc finger domain containing protein), is a regulator of NF-kappaB activation by disrupting recruitment of PP2A to p65. It also functions as a transcription factor that binds to Akt and plays a role in Akt cell survival/growth signaling. Moreover, it transcriptionally regulates p53. The phosphorylation of PHF20 on Ser291 mediated by protein kinase B (PKB) is essential in tumorigenesis via the regulation of p53-mediated signaling. PHF20L1 is an active malignant brain tumor (MBT) domain-containing protein that binds to monomethylated lysine 142 on DNA (cytosine-5) Methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) (DNMT1K142me1) and colocalizes at the perinucleolar space in a SET7-dependent manner. Both PHF20 and PHF20L1 contain an N-terminal malignant brain tumor (MBT) domain, a Tudor domain, a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger and putative DNA-binding domains AT hook and C2H2-type zinc finger. The Tudor domain binds to proteins with dimethylated arginine or lysine residues, and may also bind methylated histone tails to facilitate protein-protein interactions.

UBA domain found in yeast UBA domain-containing protein RUP1p and similar proteins; RUP1p is a ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain-containing protein encoded by a nonessential yeast gene RUP1. It can mediate the association of Rsp5 and Ubp2. The N-terminal UBA domain is responsible for antagonizing Rsp5 function, as well as bridging the Rsp5-Ubp2 interaction. No other characterized functional domains or motifs are found in RUP1p.

UBA domain found in plant PNGase/UBA or UBX (PUB) domain-containing proteins; This family includes some uncharacterized hypothetical proteins found in plants. Although their biological function remain unclear, all family members contain an N-terminal ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain and a C-terminal PUB domain. UBA domain, along with UBL (ubiquitin-like) domain, has been implicated in proteasomal degradation by associating with substrates destined for degradation as well as with subunits of the proteasome, thus regulating protein turnover. PUB domain functions as a p97 (also known as valosin-containing protein or VCP) adaptor by interacting with the D1 and/or D2 ATPase domains. The type II AAA+ ATPase p97 is involved in a variety of cellular processes such as the deglycosylation of ERAD substrates, membrane fusion, transcription factor activation and cell cycle regulation through differential binding to specific adaptor proteins.
