RAD6

Gene
RAD6
Protein
Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 2
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Length
172 amino acids
Function
Catalyzes the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to other proteins. In association with the E3 enzyme BRE1 and LGE1, it plays a role in transcription regulation by catalyzing the monoubiquitination of histone H2B to form H2BK123ub1. H2BK123ub1 gives a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation, elongation by RNA polymerase II, telomeric silencing, and is also a prerequisite for H3K4me and H3K79me formation. In association with the E3 enzyme RAD18, it catalyzes the monoubiquitination of POL30 'Lys-164', involved in postreplication repair of UV-damaged DNA. The RAD6/UBC2-RAD18 complex is also involved in prevention of spontaneous mutations caused by 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine. In association with the E3 enzyme UBR1, is involved in N-end rule-dependent protein degradation. Also involved in sporulation.
Similarity
Belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family.
