Structures of UBA6 explain its dual specificity for ubiquitin and FAT10

UBA6 is an E1 enzyme that can activate both ubiquitin and FAT10. Here, the authors employ X-ray crystallography and biochemical techniques to explain this dual specificity, and identify UBA6 variants that are selectively impaired in the activation of either ubiquitin or FAT10.
