| UniProt functional annotation for Q9HCE7 | |||
| UniProt code: Q9HCE7. |
| 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 acts as a negative regulator of BMP signaling pathway. Mediates ubiquitination and degradation of SMAD1 and SMAD5, 2 receptor-regulated SMADs specific for the BMP pathway. Promotes ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of TRAF family members and RHOA. Promotes ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of MAVS (PubMed:23087404). Plays a role in dendrite formation by melanocytes (PubMed:23999003). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10458166, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19937093, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21402695, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23087404, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23999003}. | |
| 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=2.3.2.26; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:19937093}; | |
| Pathway: | Protein modification; protein ubiquitination. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with TRAF4. Interacts (via HECT domain) with FBXL15 (via LRR repeats). Interacts with SMAD7 and TGFBR1; SMAD7 recruits SMURF1 to TGFBR1 and regulates TGF-beta receptor degradation. Interacts with MAVS; the interaction is mediated by NDFIP1 (PubMed:23087404). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11163210, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19937093, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21402695, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21572392, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23087404}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21572392}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21572392}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21572392}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21572392}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed in melanocytes (PubMed:23999003). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23999003}. | |
| Domain: | The C2 domain mediates membrane localization and substrate selection. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21402695}. | |
| Ptm: | Auto-ubiquitinated in presence of NDFIP1 (PubMed:23087404). Ubiquitinated by the SCF(FBXL15) complex at Lys-381 and Lys-383, leading to its degradation by the proteasome. Lys-383 is the primary ubiquitination site. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21572392, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23087404}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=BAB13451.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
