RING domain E3 ubiquitin ligase; involved in ubiquitin-mediated degradation of non-stop proteins and translationally stalled ER membrane proteins; component of ribosome-bound RQC (ribosome quality control) complex; degrades products of mRNAs lacking a termination codon regardless of a poly(A) tail; functional connections to chromatin modification; homolog of mouse Listerin, mutations in which reported to cause neurodegeneration; Belongs to the LTN1 family.

Ribosome quality control complex subunit 2; Component of RQC, which mediates nascent chain degradation; RQC (ribosome quality control complex) is a ribosome-bound complex required for degradation of polypeptides arising from stalled translation; recruits alanine- and threonine-charged tRNA to the A site and directs the elongation of nascent chains independently of mRNA or 40S subunits; monitors translation stress and signals this to Hsf1p; Belongs to the NEMF family.

Ubiquitin fusion degradation protein 1; Substrate-recruiting cofactor of the Cdc48p-Npl4p-Ufd1p segregase; polyubiquitin binding protein that assists in the dislocation of misfolded, ERAD substrates that are subsequently delivered to the proteasome for degradation; involved in regulated destruction of ER membrane proteins such as HMG-CoA reductase (Hmg1/2p) and cytoplasmic proteins (Fbp1p); involved in mobilizing membrane bound transcription factors by regulated Ub/proteasome-dependent processing (RUP).

Nuclear protein localization protein 4; Substrate-recruiting cofactor of the Cdc48p-Npl4p-Ufd1p segregase; assists Cdc48p in the dislocation of misfolded, polyubiquitinated ERAD substrates that are subsequently delivered to the proteasome for degradation; also involved in the regulated destruction of resident ER membrane proteins, such as HMG-CoA reductase (Hmg1/2p) and cytoplasmic proteins (Fbp1p); role in mobilizing membrane bound transcription factors by regulated ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent processing (RUP).

Protein VMS1; Component of a Cdc48p-complex involved in protein quality control; exhibits cytosolic and ER-membrane localization, with Cdc48p, during normal growth, and contributes to ER-associated degradation (ERAD) of specific substrates at a step after their ubiquitination; forms a mitochondrially-associated complex with Cdc48p and Npl4p under oxidative stress that is required for ubiquitin-mediated mitochondria-associated protein degradation (MAD); conserved in C. elegans and humans; Belongs to the ANKZF1/VMS1 family.

RING finger ubiquitin ligase (E3); involved in ubiquitination and degradation of excess histones; interacts with Ubc4p and Rad53p; null mutant sensitive to hydroxyurea (HU); green fluorescent protein (GFP)-fusion protein localizes to the cytoplasm; computational analysis suggests a role as a transcription factor.

Elongation factor 1 alpha-like protein; GTPase with similarity to translation release factors; together with binding partner Dom34p, facilitates ribosomal subunit dissociation and peptidyl-tRNA release when translation is stalled, particularly in 3' UTRs; genetically implicated in mRNA no-go decay; HBS1 has a paralog, SKI7, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Protein that facilitates ribosomal subunit dissociation; Dom34-Hbs1 complex and Rli1p have roles in dissociating inactive ribosomes to facilitate translation restart, particularly ribosomes stalled in 3' UTRs; required for RNA cleavage in no-go decay, but reports conflict on endonuclease activity; Pelota ortholog; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress; DOM34 has a paralog, YCL001W-B, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Translation initiation factor RLI1; Essential Fe-S protein; required for ribosome biogenesis, translation initiation/termination; facilitates binding of multifactor complex (MFC) of initiation factors to small ribosomal subunit; Dom34-Hbs1 complex and Rli1p work in dissociating inactive ribosomes, thereby facilitating translation restart; forms complex with Lto1p and Yae1p; dependency on ROS-labile FeS clusters, activity in nuclear ribosomal-subunit export impaired by mild oxidative stress.
