The Arg/N-degron pathway targets proteins for degradation by recognizing their N-terminal (Nt) residues. If a substrate bears, for example, Nt-Asn, its targeting involves deamidation of Nt-Asn, arginylation of resulting Nt-Asp, binding of resulting (conjugated) Nt-Arg to the UBR1-RAD6 E3-E2 ubiquitin ligase, ligase-mediated synthesis of a substrate-linked polyubiquitin chain, its capture by the proteasome, and substrate's degradation. We discovered that the human Nt-Asn-specific Nt-amidase NTAN1, Nt-Gln-specific Nt-amidase NTAQ1, arginyltransferase ATE1, and the ubiquitin ligase UBR1-UBE2A/B (or UBR2-UBE2A/B) form a complex in which NTAN1 Nt-amidase binds to NTAQ1, ATE1, and UBR1/UBR2. In addition, NTAQ1 Nt-amidase and ATE1 arginyltransferase also bind to UBR1/UBR2. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Nt-amidase, arginyltransferase, and the double-E3 ubiquitin ligase UBR1-RAD6/UFD4-UBC4/5 are shown to form an analogous targeting complex. These complexes may enable substrate channeling, in which a substrate bearing, for example, Nt-Asn, would be captured by a complex-bound Nt-amidase, followed by sequential Nt modifications of the substrate and its polyubiquitylation at an internal Lys residue without substrate's dissociation into the bulk solution. At least in yeast, the UBR1/UFD4 ubiquitin ligase interacts with the 26S proteasome, suggesting an even larger Arg/N-degron-targeting complex that contains the proteasome as well. In addition, specific features of protein-sized Arg/N-degron substrates, including their partly sequential and partly nonsequential enzymatic modifications, led us to a verifiable concept termed "superchanneling." In superchanneling, the synthesis of a substrate-linked poly-Ub chain can occur not only after a substrate's sequential Nt modifications, but also before them, through a skipping of either some or all of these modifications within a targeting complex.
