Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 H (UBE2H)

The protein contains 183 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 20655 Da.

 

Accepts ubiquitin from the E1 complex and catalyzes its covalent attachment to other proteins (PubMed:8132613, PubMed:17588522, PubMed:20061386). E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme that transfers ubiquitin to MAEA, a core component of the CTLH E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex (PubMed:29911972). In vitro catalyzes 'Lys-11'- and 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination (PubMed:20061386). Capable, in vitro, to ubiquitinate histone H2A (PubMed:8132613). (updated: Nov. 7, 2018)

Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme e2h; ube2h
Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme ubc8, yeast, homolog of
Ubch2

Ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes catalyze the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to cellular substrates. Kaiser et al. (1994) isolated a novel ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme from human placenta and cloned the corresponding cDNA. DNA sequencing revealed that this gene, symbolized UBCH2 by them, encodes a protein with significant sequence similarity to yeast UBC8. They discovered that yeast UBC8 is interrupted by a single intron bearing an unusual branch point sequence. The authors noted that yeast UBC8 exhibited 54% amino acid sequence identity to human UBCH2. Moreover, full-length yeast and human enzymes expressed from the cDNAs showed similar enzymatic activities in vitro by catalyzing the ubiquitination of histones, suggesting that the 2 enzymes may fulfill similar functions in vivo. By study of hamster/human hybrid cell DNAs, Kaiser et al. (1994) demonstrated that the human UBC8 gene is located on chromosome 7. Hayashida et al. (2000) constructed a 1-Mb physical and transcript map of 7q32 and mapped UBE2H to a region between D7S530 and D7S649. ... More on the omim web site
