Human Gene UBE2A (ENST00000371558.7) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 A (UBE2A), transcript variant 1, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_003336)
RefSeq Summary (NM_003336): The modification of proteins with ubiquitin is an important cellular mechanism for targeting abnormal or short-lived proteins for degradation. Ubiquitination involves at least three classes of enzymes: ubiquitin-activating enzymes, ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, and ubiquitin-protein ligases. This gene encodes a member of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. This enzyme is required for post-replicative DNA damage repair, and may play a role in transcriptional regulation. Mutations in this gene are associated with cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013].

  ID: UBE2A_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 A; EC=6.3.2.19; AltName: Full=RAD6 homolog A; Short=HR6A; Short=hHR6A; AltName: Full=Ubiquitin carrier protein A; AltName: Full=Ubiquitin-protein ligase A;
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.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + ubiquitin + protein lysine = AMP + diphosphate + protein N-ubiquityllysine.
PATHWAY: Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
SUBUNIT: Interacts with RAD18 and WAC.
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.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
