Ubiquitin-Conjugating Enzyme E2I (UBE2I) protein (His tag)
Description
Human Ubc9 is homologous to ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s). However, instead of conjugating ubiquitin, it conjugates a ubiquitin homologue, small ubiquitin-like modifier 1(SUMO-1). And hUbc9 retains striking structural and functional conservation with yeast Ubc9. The ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation system has been recognized as a complete enzymatic pathway that is responsible for the selective degradation of abnormal and short-lived proteins. The conjugation of ubiquitin requires the activities of ubiquitin-activating (E1) and -conjugating (E2) enzymes Synonyms: SUMO-conjugating enzyme UBC9, EC 6.3.2.-, SUMO-protein ligase, Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 I, Ubiquitin-protein ligase I, Ubiquitin carrier protein I, Ubiquitin carrier protein 9, p18, UBC9, C358B7.1
