| UniProt functional annotation for O00762 | |||
| UniProt code: O00762. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Accepts ubiquitin from the E1 complex and catalyzes its covalent attachment to other proteins. In vitro catalyzes 'Lys-11'- and 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination. Acts as an essential factor of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), a cell cycle-regulated ubiquitin ligase that controls progression through mitosis. Acts by initiating 'Lys-11'-linked polyubiquitin chains on APC/C substrates, leading to the degradation of APC/C substrates by the proteasome and promoting mitotic exit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15558010, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18485873, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19820702, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19822757, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20061386, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27259151}. | |
| 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, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18485873, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20061386}; | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=S-ubiquitinyl-[E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme]-L-cysteine + [acceptor protein]-L-lysine = [E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme]-L- cysteine + N(6)-monoubiquitinyl-[acceptor protein]-L-lysine.; EC=2.3.2.24; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:17588522}; | |
| Pathway: | Protein modification; protein ubiquitination. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00388, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18485873}. | |
| Subunit: | Component of the APC/C complex, composed of at least 14 distinct subunits that assemble into a complex of at least 19 chains with a combined molecular mass of around 1.2 MDa. Within this complex, directly interacts with ANAPC2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19820702, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27259151}. | |
| Ptm: | Autoubiquitinated by the APC/C complex, leading to its degradation by the proteasome. Its degradation plays a central role in APC/C regulation, allowing cyclin-A accumulation before S phase entry. APC/C substrates inhibit the autoubiquitination of UBE2C/UBCH10 but not its E2 function, hence APC/C remaining active until its substrates have been destroyed. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15558010}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00388}. | |
