Domain structure of the LUBAC components. LUBAC consists of three core proteins, HOIP, HOIL-1, and SHARPIN. HOIP and HOIL-1 are RBR E3 ligases characterized by a RING - IBR (in between RING) - RING domain structure. The interaction between the UBL domains of HOIL-1 and SHARPIN with the UBA domain of HOIP releases the autoinhibition of HOIP. HOIP interacts via its PUB domain with the PIM domain of OTULIN, SPATA2, or p97/VCP.
