UniProt functional annotation for P61085



	UniProt functional annotation for P61085

UniProt code: P61085.

Organism: Bos taurus (Bovine).

Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Artiodactyla; Ruminantia; Pecora; Bovidae; Bovinae; Bos.

Function: Accepts ubiquitin from the E1 complex and catalyzes its covalent attachment to other proteins. In vitro, in the presence or in the absence of BRCA1-BARD1 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex, catalyzes the synthesis of 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitin chains. Does not transfer ubiquitin directly to but elongates monoubiquitinated substrate protein. Mediates the selective degradation of short-lived and abnormal proteins, such as the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) of misfolded lumenal proteins. Ubiquitinates huntingtin. May mediate foam cell formation by the suppression of apoptosis of lipid-bearing macrophages through ubiquitination and subsequence degradation of p53/TP53 (By similarity). Proposed to be involved in ubiquitination and proteolytic processing of NF-kappa-B; in vitro supports ubiquitination of NFKB1. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61086, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9535861}.

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}.

Subunit: Interacts with RNF138/NARF. Interacts with BRCA1. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61086}.

Subcellular location: Cytoplasm.

Ptm: Sumoylation at Lys-14 impairs catalytic activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15723079}.

Similarity: Belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00388}.
