The Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes RAD23 and DDI1 were identified in a screen for multicopy suppressors of the temperature-sensitivity of a mutant allele of S. cerevisiae PDS1. Pds1 is a regulator of anaphase that needs to accumulate and then be degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway at the metaphase-anaphase transition for cells to progress normally through mitosis. Both the Rad23 and Ddi1 pds1 suppression phenotypes depend on a shared motif known as a UBA domain found in a variety of proteins associated with ubiquitin metabolism. UBA domains were found to be essential for homodimerization of Rad23 and heterodimerization between Rad23 and Ddi1, but not for homodimerization of Ddi1. This observation, coupled with the findings that Rad23 and Ddi1 UBA domains bind ubiquitin and that dimerization of Rad23 blocks ubiquitin binding, suggests a possible mechanism for regulating Rad23 and Ddi1 function.

Domains in Action: Understanding Ddi1's Diverse Functions in the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System.

The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is a pivotal cellular mechanism responsible for the selective degradation of proteins, playing an essential role in proteostasis, protein quality control, and regulating various cellular processes, with ubiquitin marking proteins for degradation through a complex, multi-stage process. The shuttle proteins family is a very unique group of proteins that plays an important role in the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Ddi1, Dsk2, and Rad23 are shuttle factors that bind ubiquitinated substrates and deliver them to the 26S proteasome.

Stress conditions can cause the relocalization of proteasomes to condensates in yeast and mammalian cells. The interactions that facilitate the formation of proteasome condensates, however, are unclear. Here, we show that the formation of proteasome condensates in yeast depends on ubiquitin chains together with the proteasome shuttle factors Rad23 and Dsk2.

Article Synopsis
- Ddi2, a shuttling factor in vertebrates, binds to ubiquitin (Ub) conjugates via its Ub-like domain, unlike its yeast counterparts that have a Ub-associated domain.
- Deleting Ddi2 results in the accumulation of Ub conjugates due to reduced binding to the proteasome, which impairs protein degradation.
- The protease activity of Ddi2 is crucial for its function in delivering Ub proteins to the proteasome, influencing protein turnover and potentially preventing stress in the endoplasmic reticulum.
Toxoplasma gondii UBL-UBA shuttle proteins regulate several important cellular processes.

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular apicomplexan parasite causing lethal diseases in immunocompromised patients. UBL-UBA shuttle proteins (DDI1, RAD23, and DSK2) are important components of the ubiquitin-proteasome system. By degrading ubiquitinated proteins, UBL-UBA shuttle proteins regulate many cellular processes.
