Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2, catalytic (UBCc) domain of ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 T and related enzymes The E2T subfamily includes mammalian ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes E2 T (UBE2T/HSPC150/PIG50), plant ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 37 (UBC37), and similar proteins. They are ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (EC 2.3.2.23) that accept ubiquitin from the E1 complex and catalyze the covalent attachment to other proteins. UBE2T, also called cell proliferation-inducing gene 50 protein, catalyzes monoubiquitination. It is involved in mitomycin-C (MMC)-induced DNA repair. It acts as a specific E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme for the Fanconi anemia complex by associating with E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase FANCL and catalyzing monoubiquitination of FANCD2, a key step in the DNA damage pathway. UBE2T also mediates monoubiquitination of FANCL and FANCI. It may contribute to ubiquitination and degradation of BRCA1. In vitro, UBE2T can promote polyubiquitination using all 7 ubiquitin Lys residues, but may prefer 'Lys-11'-, 'Lys-27'-, 'Lys-48'- and 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination.
