Activity

Recombinant Human His6-UbcH6/UBE2E1 is a member of the Ubiquitin-conjugating (E2) enzyme family that receives Ubiquitin from a Ubiquitin-activating (E1) enzyme and subsequently interacts with a Ubiquitin ligase (E3) to conjugate Ubiquitin to substrate proteins. Reaction conditions will need to be optimized for each specific application. We recommend an initial Recombinant Human His6-UbcH6/UBE2E1 concentration of 0.1-1 μM.

Background: UbcH6/UBE2E1

Ubiquitin-conjugating Enzyme H6 (UbcH6), also known as Ubiquitin-conjugating Enzyme E2E 1 (UBE2E1), is a ubiquitously expressed protein with a predicted molecular weight of 21 kDa. Human UbcH6/UBE2E1 shares 99% and 100% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat UBE2E1, respectively. UbcH6/UBE2E1 mediates the selective degradation of short-lived and abnormal proteins (1). UbcH6/UBE2E1 catalytic activity is modulated following the addition of the Ubiquitin-like protein ISG15 to Lys136 (2). In the nucleus, the N-terminal fragment of UbcH6/UBE2E1 interacts with the Ubiquitin ligase (E3) TRIM21 to mediate substrate ubiquitination (3,4). UbcH6/UBE2E1 also interacts with the viral E3, ICP0, during HSV-1 infection (5). In addition, UbcH6/UBE2E1-dependent protein ubiquitination is implicated in polyglutamine tract disorders such as ataxia (6,7).
