| 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}. | |
