    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: The cytokine-inducible ubiquitin-like modifier HLA-F adjacent transcript 10 (FAT10) targets its substrates for degradation by the proteasome. FAT10 is conjugated to its substrates via the bispecific, ubiquitin-activating and FAT10-activating enzyme UBA6, the likewise bispecific conjugating enzyme UBA6-specific E2 enzyme 1 (USE1), and possibly E3 ligases. By MS analysis, we found that USE1 undergoes self-FAT10ylation in cis, mainly at Lys323. Mutation of Lys323 to an arginine did not abolish auto-FAT10ylation of USE1, but every other lysine could instead be modified with FAT10. Similarly to bulk FAT10 substrates, FAT10ylation of USE1 accelerated its proteasomal degradation. Interestingly, the USE1-FAT10 conjugate continued to be an active E2 enzyme, because both FAT10 and ubiquitin could still be thioester-linked to the USE1-FAT10 conjugate. We therefore suggest that the major function of USE1 auto-FAT10ylation is to serve as a negative feedback mechanism to limit the conjugation of FAT10 upon its cytokine-mediated induction by reducing the amount of USE1 through proteasomal degradation of the USE1-FAT10 conjugate.
