General annotation (Comments)

Function

Accepts the ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 from the UBA3-NAE1 E1 complex and catalyzes its covalent attachment to other proteins. The specific interaction with the E3 ubiquitin ligase RBX1, but not RBX2, suggests that the RBX1-UBE2M complex neddylates specific target proteins, such as CUL1, CUL2, CUL3 and CUL4. Involved in cell proliferation. Ref.2 Ref.10

Catalytic activity

ATP + NEDD8 + protein lysine = AMP + diphosphate + protein N-NEDD8yllysine.

Pathway

Protein modification; protein neddylation.

Subunit structure

Interacts with UBA3, DCUN1D1 and RBX1. Ref.7

Domain

Both the N-terminal docking peptide and the catalytic core domain must bind the UBA3-NAE1 complex simultaneously for optimal transfer of NEDD8.

Post-translational modification

The acetylation of Met-1 is cotranslational, and not regulatory. The N-acetylmethionine increases affinity for DCUN1D1 by about 2 orders of magnitude and is crucial for NEDD8 transfer to cullins.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. UBC12 subfamily.
