Crystal structures reveal catalytic and regulatory mechanisms of the dual-specificity ubiquitin/FAT10 E1 enzyme Uba6

Uba6 is an E1 enzyme that regulates numerous cellular processes by activating ubiquitin and FAT10 pathways. Here, the authors present crystal structures that illuminate Uba6 catalytic mechanisms and reveal inositol hexakisphosphate as a cofactor that modulates Uba6 activity.
