FAMILY

ubiquitin conjugation factor E4 family

CATEGORY

chaperone/stress , enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm

basic FUNCTION	involved in multi-ubiquitination chain assembly with E1, E2, E3
	might play an important role in the regulation of cisplatin mediated cell death mediated by TP63
	U box-containing protein that functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase and an E4 polyubiquitin chain elongation factor
	promotes TP53 polyubiquitination and degradation and inhibits TP53-dependent transactivation and apoptosis
	negatively regulates the level of TP53 and inhibits TP53-dependent transactivation and apoptosis
	U-box-containing ubiquitylation enzyme that promotes ubiquitin chain assembly on substrates

CELLULAR PROCESS	cell cycle
	protein, post translation

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacting with, and thereby mediated poly-ubiquitylation of ATXN3
	E3 and E4 ubiquitin ligase, that physically interacts with TP53 and MDM2
	E3 and E4 ubiquitin ligase with a U-box domain, interacting physically with both TP53 and MDM2
	TTK is a target of the UBE4B enzyme (UBE4B-mediated TTK degradation is conserved in humans and is important for mitotic progression)
