| UniProt functional annotation for P21734 | |||
| UniProt code: P21734. |
| Organism: | Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to other proteins. Functions in degradation of misfolded or regulated proteins localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen or membrane via the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Cognate E2 conjugating enzyme for the HRD1 ubiquitin ligase complex, which is part of the ERAD-L and ERAD-M pathways responsible for the rapid degradation of soluble lumenal and membrane proteins with misfolded lumenal domains (ERAD-L), or ER- membrane proteins with misfolded transmembrane domains (ERAD-M). {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00388, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10878801, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11146622}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=S-ubiquitinyl-[E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme]-L-cysteine + [E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-L-cysteine = [E1 ubiquitin- activating enzyme]-L-cysteine + S-ubiquitinyl-[E2 ubiquitin- conjugating enzyme]-L-cysteine.; EC=2.3.2.23; Evidence={ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00388, ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU10133}; | |
| Pathway: | Protein modification; protein ubiquitination. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00388}. | |
| Developmental stage: | Early stages of growth after spore germination. | |
| Induction: | By heat shock and cadmium. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Present with 8940 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00388}. | |
