Schematics of the writer, reader, eraser, and regulator for linear ubiquitination. Linear ubiquitin chains are assembled by the E3 ligase LUBAC along with the E2 UBE2L3. LUBAC comprises HOIP, HOIL-1, and SHARPIN, which serves as the linear ubiquitin writer. Several proteins decode linear ubiquitin by specifically binding to translate into a cellular effect (readers). Two deubiquitinases disassemble linear ubiquitin chains as the erasers. A20, TNF-inducible protein A20; CYLD, cylindromatosis; HOIL-1, heme-oxidized IRP2 ubiquitin ligase 1L; HOIP, HOIL-1-interacting protein; OTULIN, OTU domain-containing deubiquitinase with linear linkage specificity; SHARPIN, SHANK-associated RH domain-interacting protein; UBAN, ubiquitin-binding domain in ABIN proteins and NEMO; UBE2L3, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 L3.
