Ubiquitination is an important mechanism through which three classes of enzymes act in concert to target short-lived or abnormal proteins for destruction. The three classes of enzymes involved in ubiquitination are the ubiquitin-activating enzymes (E1s), the ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s) and the ubiquitin-protein ligases (E3s). UBC13, also known as UBE2N or BLU, is a 152 amino acid member of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. Existing as a heterodimer with Mms2 (also known as UBE2V2), UBC13 catalyzes the ATP-dependent synthesis of non-canonical polyubiquitin chains, a process that does not lead to proteasomal degradation. Additionally, UBC13 mediates the transcription of several target genes and is thought to play a role in cell cycle progression, cellular differentiation and DNA repair mechanisms that ensure cell survival after DNA damage.
