| UniProt functional annotation for Q96PU4 | |||
| UniProt code: Q96PU4. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that is an intermolecular hub protein in the cell cycle network. Through cooperative DNA and histone binding, may contribute to a tighter epigenetic control of gene expression in differentiated cells. Ubiquitinates cyclins, CCND1 and CCNE1, in an apparently phosphorylation-independent manner and induces G1 arrest. Also ubiquitinates PCNP leading to its degradation by the proteasome. E3 SUMO-, but not ubiquitin-, protein ligase for ZNF131. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12176013, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14741369, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15178429, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15361834, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21952639, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23404503}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=S-ubiquitinyl-[E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-L-cysteine + [acceptor protein]-L-lysine = [E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-L- cysteine + N(6)-ubiquitinyl-[acceptor protein]-L-lysine.; EC=2.3.2.27; | |
| Pathway: | Protein modification; protein ubiquitination. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Binds methylated CpG containing oligonucleotides. Interacts with H3: the interaction has a preference for the 'Lys-9' trimethylated form of H3 (H3K9me3) (By similarity). Interacts with PCNP, HDAC1 and CDK2 (inactive form). Component of a complex at least composed of UHRF2, CDK2 and CCNE1. Interacts directly with CCNE1; the interaction ubiquitinates CCNE1 and appears independent of CCNE1 phosphorylation. Interacts with CCND1; the interaction ubiquitinates CCND1 and appears independent of CCND1 phosphorylation. Interacts with p53/TP53 and RB1. Interacts with UBE2I. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12176013, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14741369, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15178429, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15361834, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21952639, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23404503, ECO:0000269|Ref.15, ECO:0000269|Ref.16}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00358, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12176013, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23404503}. Note=Enriched at pericentric heterochromatin (PH). This localization is dependent on the interaction with H3K9me3 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Induction: | Up-regulated in proliferating fetal lung fibroblasts and in U-937 myeloid leukemia cells. Down-regulated in these cells by growth arrest and differentiation. In other cell types which cannot leave the cell cycle, such as tumoral HT-1080 and Hep-G2, levels are consistently up-regulated. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12176013}. | |
| Ptm: | May be autoubiquitinated; which may lead to proteasomal degradation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14741369}. | |
| Ptm: | Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation may be mediated by CDK2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15178429}. | |
| Ptm: | Autosumoylated. | |
| Disease: | Note=Associated with various cancers. DNA copy number loss is found in multiple kinds of malignancies originating from the brain, breast, stomach, kidney, hematopoietic tissue and lung. | |
