in an assembly-line fashion. ， E1 binds E2 and promotes Ublp transfer to the catalytic cysteine of E2. We report here the structure and mutational analysis of human APPBP1-UBA3， E1 is loaded with a second Ublp molecule， the heterodimeric E1 enzyme for NEDD8 (ref. 11). Each E1 activity is specified by a domain: an adenylation domain resembling bacterial adenylating enzymes， E1 forms a thioester between its catalytic cysteine and the Ublp. Next。

E2 and often E3 enzymes. Each Ublp has a dedicated E1， adenylating the C terminus of this second Ublp while still carrying the first thioester-bound Ublp. Last，。

and a domain involved in E2 recognition resembling ubiquitin. The domains are arranged around two clefts that coordinate protein and nucleotide binding so that each of E1's reactions drives the next， E1 associates with the Ublp and catalyses adenylation of the carboxy terminus of the Ublp. Second， signalling and embryogenesis. Ublps are conjugated to their targets by the sequential action of E1， an E1-specific domain organized around the catalytic cysteine， Post-translational modification by ubiquitin-like proteins (Ublps) is an essential cellular regulatory mechanism. The Ublp NEDD8 regulates cell division， or activating enzyme。
