Function
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that plays a key role in the ribosome quality control (RQC), a pathway that takes place when a ribosome has stalled during translation, leading to degradation of nascent peptide chains (PubMed:28065601, PubMed:28132843, PubMed:28685749, PubMed:32099016, PubMed:32579943, PubMed:33581075). ZNF598 is activated when ribosomes are stalled within an mRNA following translation of prematurely polyadenylated mRNAs (PubMed:28065601, PubMed:28132843, PubMed:28685749). Acts as a ribosome collision sensor: specifically recognizes and binds collided di-ribosome, which arises when a trailing ribosome encounters a slower leading ribosome, leading to terminally arrest translation (PubMed:28065601, PubMed:28132843, PubMed:28685749, PubMed:30293783). Following binding to colliding ribosomes, mediates monoubiquitination of 40S ribosomal proteins RPS10/eS10 and RPS3/uS3, and 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination of RPS20/uS10 (PubMed:28065601, PubMed:28132843, PubMed:28685749). Polyubiquitination of RPS20/uS10 promotes recruitment of the RQT (ribosome quality control trigger) complex, which drives the disassembly of stalled ribosomes, followed by degradation of nascent peptides (PubMed:32099016, PubMed:32579943, PubMed:36302773). E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity is dependent on the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBE2D3 (PubMed:28685749). Also acts as an adapter that recruits the 4EHP-GYF2 complex to mRNAs (PubMed:22751931, PubMed:32726578). Independently of its role in RQC, may also act as a negative regulator of interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) expression (PubMed:29719242)
