HRD1 [YOL013C]
ERAD-associated E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase HRD1; Ubiquitin-protein ligase involved in ER-associated degradation (ERAD) of misfolded proteins; upon autoubiquitination triggers retrotranslocation of misfolded proteins to cytosol for degradation; genetically linked to the unfolded protein response (UPR); regulated through association with Hrd3p; contains an H2 ring finger; likely plays a general role in targeting proteins that persistently associate with and potentially obstruct the ER-localized translocon; Belongs to the HRD1 family.
Synonyms: HRD1, HRD1p, Q08109, DER3, Q08109p ...
