General annotation (Comments)

Function	Accepts ubiquitin from the E1 complex and catalyzes its covalent attachment to other proteins. In association with the E3 enzyme BRE1 (RNF20 and/or RNF40), it plays a role in transcription regulation by catalyzing the monoubiquitination of histone H2B at 'Lys-120' to form H2BK120ub1. H2BK120ub1 gives a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation, elongation by RNA polymerase II, telomeric silencing, and is also a prerequisite for H3K4me and H3K79me formation. In vitro catalyzes 'Lys-11', as well as 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination. Required for postreplication repair of UV-damaged DNA. Ref.7 Ref.9
Catalytic activity	ATP + ubiquitin + protein lysine = AMP + diphosphate + protein N-ubiquityllysine.
Pathway	Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
Subunit structure	Interacts with RAD18 and WAC. Ref.10
Involvement in disease	Defects in UBE2A are the cause of mental retardation syndromic X-linked Nascimento-type (MRXSN) [MIM:300860]. Mental retardation is characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptative behavior and manifested during the developmental period. MRXSN features include dysmorphic facies, hirsutism, skin and nails abnormalities, obesity, speech anomalies and seizures. Ref.8 Ref.11
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family.
