Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2, catalytic (UBCc) domain of ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 N and related proteins The E2N subfamily includes mammalian ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes E2 N (UBE2N/UBCH13/UBC13/BLU), yeast ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 13 (UBC13), and plant ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 35-36 (UBC35/UBC13A/UBG13A, UBC36/UBC13B/UBG13B), which function as ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (EC 2.3.2.23). UBE2N, also called Bendless-like ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, forms heterodimers with UBE2V1 and UBE2V2, respectively. The UBE2V1/UBE2N and UBE2V2/UBE2N heterodimers catalyze the synthesis of non-canonical 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains. This type of polyubiquitination does not lead to protein degradation by the proteasome. UBE2N also plays a role in the control of progress through the cell cycle and differentiation, as well as in the error-free DNA repair pathway, and contributes to the survival of cells after DNA damage. Saccharomyces cerevisiae UBC13 has a role in the DNA error-free post-replication repair (PRR) pathway. The UBC13/MMS2 heterodimer catalyzes the synthesis of non-canonical poly-ubiquitin chains that are linked through 'Lys-63'. Arabidopsis thaliana UBC35 and UBC36 catalyze the synthesis of non-canonical poly-ubiquitin chains that are linked through 'Lys-63'. They mediate transcriptional activation of target genes. They are required for post-replication repair of UV-damaged DNA and for adapting root developmental programs to suboptimal availability of iron. |
