UniProt functional annotation for P56273

UniProt code: P56273.

Organism: Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Amphibia; Batrachia; Anura; Pipoidea; Pipidae; Xenopodinae; Xenopus; Xenopus.
 
Function: E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates ubiquitination of p53/TP53, leading to its degradation by the proteasome. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q00987}.
 
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; Evidence={ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q00987};
Subcellular location: Nucleus, nucleoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P23804}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P23804}. Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P23804}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q00987}.
Developmental stage: Expression increases from oocyte stage I/II to reach its maximum in oocyte stage v/vi in unfertilized eggs, and then progressively decreases to become undetectable at the gastrula stage.
Similarity: Belongs to the MDM2/MDM4 family. {ECO:0000305}.
