Structural basis for UFM1 transfer from UBA5 to UFC1

Ufmylation is a well-established ubiquitin-like protein modification, but its mechanism is largely unclear. Here, the authors present a crystal structure of the ufmylation-specific E1-E2 complex, revealing differences to the ubiquitination machinery and mechanistic details of the ufmylation process.
