The exact mechanism for how Ubc13 transfers ubiquitin is not known, however the mechanism occurs in either a step-wise or concerted reaction. Ubc13, as an E2, froms a covalent bond with ubiquitin and then transfers the ubiquitin to the target protein via a thioester intermediate.

Ubiquitin is removed from Ubc13 and Mms2 complex and placed onto PCNA.
