Its two ubiquitin-interacting motifs (UIMs) directly engage both Lys48- and Lys63-linked polyubiquitin chains—preferring longer chains—through mechanistically distinct binding surfaces, with UIM binding driving a conformational opening of the Lys48 interdomain interface [PMID:15826667, PMID:17368669]. The same UIM surface recruits UBL-domain shuttle factors including hHR23A/B and ubiquilins/Plic proteins, whose binding opens their own closed UBL–UBA conformation and links indirect substrate delivery to the proteasome [PMID:10488153, PMID:14557549, PMID:26222436]; Rpn10 acts redundantly and cooperatively with Rad23, Dsk2, and the second proteasomal receptor Rpn13 such that combined loss causes massive ubiquitin conjugate accumulation and failure of shuttle-factor docking [PMID:15117949, PMID:12051757, PMID:26222436]. Beyond ubiquitin binding, the von Willebrand factor type A (VWA) domain provides a distinct interaction surface that mediates ubiquitin-independent recognition of FAT10/NUB1L-conjugated substrates [PMID:22434192], and the VWA domain controls incorporation into the proteasome via Rpn12 [PMID:22906049]. Rpn10 activity is autoregulated by monoubiquitination at a conserved lysine catalyzed by the NEDD4-family E3 Rsp5 and reversed by Ubp2; this modification inhibits the UIM, dissociates Rpn10 from the proteasome by sterically clashing with Rpn9, and switches the receptor landscape from an Rpn10-high to a Dsk2-high state, enabling cyclic receptor usage [PMID:20542005, PMID:27698474, PMID:26450923]. The free extraproteasomal pool of Rpn10 additionally filters Dsk2 access and prevents formation of nondegradable forked ubiquitin chains during E3-mediated assembly [PMID:19387488, PMID:18995839]. Rpn10 mediates selective degradation of specific substrates—including p53 (but not Mdm2), PTEN, and PARP1—linking it to Akt and Nrf2 signaling axes in cancer, where it is required for tumor cell viability and is a therapeutic target in multiple myeloma [PMID:24121268, PMID:30673593, PMID:36630605, PMID:28316110].

ubiquitin receptor of the 26S proteasome's 19S regulatory particle, providing one of the principal modes by which polyubiquitinated substrates are recognized and delivered for degradation [#0, #19]. Its two ubiquitin-interacting motifs (UIMs) directly engage both Lys48- and Lys63-linked polyubiquitin chains—preferring longer chains—through mechanistically distinct binding surfaces, with UIM binding driving a conformational opening of the Lys48 interdomain interface [#3, #11]. The same UIM surface recruits UBL-domain shuttle factors including hHR23A/B and ubiquilins/Plic proteins, whose binding opens their own closed UBL–UBA conformation and links indirect substrate delivery to the proteasome [#1, #4, #17]; Rpn10 acts redundantly and cooperatively with Rad23, Dsk2, and the second proteasomal receptor Rpn13 such that combined loss causes massive ubiquitin conjugate accumulation and failure of shuttle-factor docking [#0, #14, #17]. Beyond ubiquitin binding, the von Willebrand factor type A (VWA) domain provides a distinct interaction surface that mediates ubiquitin-independent recognition of FAT10/NUB1L-conjugated substrates [#8], and the VWA domain controls incorporation into the proteasome via Rpn12 [#31]. Rpn10 activity is autoregulated by monoubiquitination at a conserved lysine catalyzed by the NEDD4-family E3 Rsp5 and reversed by Ubp2; this modification inhibits the UIM, dissociates Rpn10 from the proteasome by sterically clashing with Rpn9, and switches the receptor landscape from an Rpn10-high to a Dsk2-high state, enabling cyclic receptor usage [#7, #10, #16]. The free extraproteasomal pool of Rpn10 additionally filters Dsk2 access and prevents formation of nondegradable forked ubiquitin chains during E3-mediated assembly [#12, #15]. Rpn10 mediates selective degradation of specific substrates—including p53 (but not Mdm2), PTEN, and PARP1—linking it to Akt and Nrf2 signaling axes in cancer, where it is required for tumor cell viability and is a therapeutic target in multiple myeloma [#23, #33, #35, #36].
