FAT-10 targets proteins for degradation in a ubiquitin-independent manner and NUB1L accelerates this process. In this study, both FAT-10 and NUB1L are shown to interact with the VWA domain of the Rpn10 subunit of the 26S proteasome, suggesting that this is a receptor site for ubiquitin-like modifiers.
