Protein Ubiquitination predictor

Predict lysine ubiquitination sites, ubiquitin chain linkage preferences, likely E3 ligase families and candidates, and proteasomal turnover from a protein amino acid sequence. Based on the ProteinUbiquitinationEngine ubiquitin–proteasome analysis pipeline. All analysis runs in your browser.

Paste a one-letter amino acid sequence or FASTA. Include a FASTA header (e.g. >TP53) to improve E3 candidate ranking when the protein matches known substrates. Results include PWM-scored lysine sites, K48/K63/K11 chain weights, RING/HECT/RBR profiles, ranked ligases with degron motif hits, ubiquitin code outcomes, and a degradation kinetics plot.

Run analysis to score lysine sites and generate UPS predictions.

What this tool does

  • Site prediction — PWM scoring of each lysine using ±5 residue context.
  • Chain typing — K48, K63, K11, K27, K29, K33, and M1 linkage weights.
  • E3 profile — RING, HECT, and RBR class weights from chain preference.
  • Specific E3 candidates — ranked ligases using degron motifs (PPxY, DSGxxS/T, KFERQ, LxCxE, etc.) and FASTA header hints.
  • Ubiquitin code — degradation, signaling, autophagy, DNA repair, or cell-cycle outcomes.
  • Degradation ODE — simplified proteasomal kinetics with steady-state estimates.

Predictions are heuristic and for hypothesis generation. Validate with interaction data, knockdown, or targeted assays before drawing experimental conclusions.
