Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityATP + ubiquitin + protein lysine = AMP + diphosphate + protein N-ubiquityllysine. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00388, ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10133, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19820702, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19822757}.
FunctionAccepts ubiquitin from the E1 complex and catalyzes its covalent attachment to other proteins. Catalyzes 'Lys-11'-linked polyubiquitination. Acts as an essential factor of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), a cell cycle-regulated ubiquitin ligase that controls progression through mitosis. Acts by specifically elongating 'Lys-11'-linked polyubiquitin chains initiated by the E2 enzyme UBE2C/UBCH10 on APC/C substrates, enhancing the degradation of APC/C substrates by the proteasome and promoting mitotic exit. Also acts by elongating ubiquitin chains initiated by the E2 enzyme UBE2D1/UBCH5 in vitro; it is however unclear whether UBE2D1/UBCH5 acts as a E2 enzyme for the APC/C in vivo. Also involved in ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of VHL, resulting in an accumulation of HIF1A. In vitro able to promote polyubiquitination using all 7 ubiquitin Lys residues, except 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16819549, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19820702, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19822757, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20061386, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20622874}.
PathwayProtein modification; protein ubiquitination. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00388, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19820702, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19822757}.
PtmAutoubiquitinated by the APC/C complex during G1, leading to its degradation by the proteasome. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19822757}.
SimilarityBelongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00388}.
SubunitComponent of the APC/C complex. Interacts with CDC20, FZR1/CDH1 and VHL. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16819549, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19822757}.
