In vitro catalyzes 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination. Mediates the selective degradation of short-lived and abnormal proteins. Functions in the E6/E6-AP-induced ubiquitination of p53/TP53. Mediates ubiquitination of PEX5 and autoubiquitination of STUB1 and TRAF6. Involved in the signal-induced conjugation and subsequent degradation of NFKBIA, FBXW2-mediated GCM1 ubiquitination and degradation, MDM2-dependent degradation of p53/TP53 and the activation of MAVS in the mitochondria by DDX58/RIG-I in response to viral infection. Essential for viral activation of IRF3. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMed The ubiquitination pathway is the main pathway for protein degradation in eukaryotic cells. The attachment of ubiquitin to a substrate protein is catalyzed by three types of enzymes, namely a ubiquitin activating enzyme (E1), a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2), and a ubiquitin ligase (E3). Here, the structure of the human ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2) UbcH5B has been solved by a combination of homology modeling, NMR relaxation data and automated NOE assignments. Comparison to E2 structures solved previously by X-ray crystallography or NMR shows in all cases the same compact fold, but differences are observed in the orientation of both N and C-terminal alpha-helices. The N-terminal helix that is involved in binding to ubiquitin ligases (E3) displays a different position, which could have consequences for precise E2-E3 recognition. In addition, multiple conformations of the side-chain of Asn77 are found in solution, which contrasts the single hydrogen-bonded conformation in the crystal structures of E2 enzymes. The possible implication of this conformational freedom of Asn77 for its catalytic function is discussed.
