UniProt functional annotation for Q83RJ4

UniProt code: Q83RJ4.

Organism: Shigella flexneri.
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Shigella.
 
Function: Effector proteins function to alter host cell physiology and promote bacterial survival in host tissues. This protein is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that interferes with host's ubiquitination pathway. Synthesizes a 'Lys-48'-linked ubiquitin chain, which requires non- covalent binding between ubiquitin and the host ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBE2D1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18997779}.
 
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;
Subcellular location: Secreted {ECO:0000250}. Host cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Note=Secreted via Mxi-Spa type III secretion system (TTSS), and delivered into the host cytoplasm. {ECO:0000250}.
Domain: The LRR (leucine-rich repeat) domain forms a slightly curved solenoid and may mediate interaction with target proteins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18997779}.
Ptm: Ubiquitinated in the presence of host E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme, E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBE2D3 and ubiquitin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18997779}.
Similarity: Belongs to the LRR-containing bacterial E3 ligase family. {ECO:0000305}.
