Abstract:The ubiquitin (Ub) code denotes the complex Ub architectures, including Ub chains of different lengths, linkage types, and linkage combinations, which enable ubiquitination to control a wide range of protein fates. Although many linkage-specific interactors have been described, how interactors are able to decode more complex architectures is not fully understood. We conducted a Ub interactor screen, in humans and yeast, using Ub chains of varying lengths, as well as homotypic and heterotypic branched chains of the two most abundant linkage types—lysine 48–linked (K48) and lysine 63–linked (K63) Ub. We identified some of the first K48/K63-linked branch-specific Ub interactors, including histone ADP-ribosyltransferase PARP10/ARTD10, E3 ligase UBR4, and huntingtin-interacting protein HIP1. Furthermore, we revealed the importance of chain length by identifying interactors with a preference for Ub3 over Ub2 chains, including Ub-directed endoprotease DDI2, autophagy receptor CCDC50, and p97 adaptor FAF1. Crucially, we compared datasets collected using two common deubiquitinase inhibitors—chloroacetamide and N-ethylmaleimide. This revealed inhibitor-dependent interactors, highlighting the importance of inhibitor consideration during pulldown studies. This dataset is a key resource for understanding how the Ub code is read.
