General annotation (Comments)

Function

Binds to the ubiquitin moieties of preformed conjugates and catalyzes ubiquitin chain assembly in conjunction with E1, E2, and E3 By similarity.

Subunit structure

Interacts with Vcp By similarity.

Subcellular location

CytoplasmBy similarity.

Tissue specificity

Highest expression in ovary, testis, heart and skeletal muscle. Expression is low in colon, thymus and peripheral blood leukocytes. Almost undetectable in lung and spleen.

Post-translational modification

Proteolytically cleaved by caspases during apoptosis. Cleaved efficiently at Asp-123 by caspase-6 and granzyme B. Cleaved with approximately 10-fold less efficiency at Asp-109 by caspase-3 and caspase-7.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the ubiquitin conjugation factor E4 family.

Contains 1 U-box domain.

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: O95155-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform 2 (identifier: O95155-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     270-398: Missing.
Isoform 3 (identifier: O95155-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-116: Missing.
     270-398: Missing.
     1234-1234: D → GKWTH
Notes: No experimental confirmation available.
