    FAMILY
  • ubiquitin-activating E1 family
    • CATEGORY regulatory
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,nucleus
    basic FUNCTION
  • required for activation of UBL1
  • acting as a UBL1 E1 ligase for SUMO1, SUMO2, SUMO3 and probably SUMO4
  • mediating ATP-dependent activation of UBL1 and formation of a thiolester with a conserved cysteine residue on UBA2
  • acting as an enzyme activator
  • could potentially be used to antagonize Vif-mediated APOBEC3G degradation by preventing polyubiquitination and thus inhibits HIV-1 replication (Li 2008)
    • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, ubiquitin dependent proteolysis
