Summary: Contributes to ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. Involved in several processes, including free ubiquitin chain polymerization; postreplication repair; and protein targeting to vacuolar membrane. Located in fungal-type vacuole membrane and nucleus. Part of ubiquitin conjugating enzyme complex. Orthologous to several human genes including UBE2N (ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 N). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Ubc13-Mms2 cooperates with a family of RING E3 proteins in budding yeast membrane protein sorting.
Title: Ubc13-Mms2 cooperates with a family of RING E3 proteins in budding yeast membrane protein sorting.
Knockdown or conditional knockout of RNF8 or UBC13 in rodent cerebellar granule neurons robustly increases the number of parallel fiber presynaptic boutons and functional parallel fiber/Purkinje cell synapses. In contrast to the role of nuclear RNF8 in proliferating cells, RNF8 operates in the cytoplasm in neurons to suppress synapse differentiation.
Title: RNF8/UBC13 ubiquitin signaling suppresses synapse formation in the mammalian brain.
The authors demonstrate that in the absence of PCNA SUMOylation, Mms2-Ubc13 and Rad5 may, independently of each other, function in the stimulation of translesion DNA synthesis.

Ubc13 appears to be essential for epidermal integrity in mice.
Title: E2 Polyubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Ubc13 in keratinocytes is essential for epidermal integrity.
Rad6-Rad18 and Ubc13-Mms2-Rad5 act sequentially and mediate proliferating cell nuclear antigen poly-ubiquitylation by stepwise addition of ubiquitin monomers.
Title: Mechanistic analysis of PCNA poly-ubiquitylation by the ubiquitin protein ligases Rad18 and Rad5.
Rad5 acts both to align monoUb-PCNA with Ub-charged Ubc13 and to stimulate Ub transfer onto Lys(63) of a Ub acceptor.

Ubc13 is required for G(2) delay and does not contribute to protein turnover.
Title: Yeast Chfr homologs retard cell cycle at G1 and G2/M via Ubc4 and Ubc13/Mms2-dependent ubiquitination.
Data demonstrate that divergent activities of Ubc13 rely on its pairing with either of two Uevs, Uev1A or Mms2.
Title: Distinct regulation of Ubc13 functions by the two ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme variants Mms2 and Uev1A.
The structure reveals the key role of Mms2 in allowing selective insertion of Lys63 into the Ubc13 active site and suggests a molecular model for polyubiquitin chain elongation.
Title: Mms2-Ubc13 covalently bound to ubiquitin reveals the structural basis of linkage-specific polyubiquitin chain formation.
In contrast to the role of Rad5 in postreplicational repair, however, where its function is coupled with that of Mms2-Ubc13, Rad5 function in translesion synthesis would be largely independent of this ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme complex
