Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 variant proteins constitute a distinct subfamily within the E2 protein family. They have sequence similarity to other ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes but lack the conserved cysteine residue that is critical for the catalytic activity of E2s. The protein encoded by this gene also shares homology with ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 variant 1 and yeast MMS2 gene product. It may be involved in the differentiation of monocytes and enterocytes

Description
Specificity: Not tested with other proteinsRelevance: The differentiation and activation of monocytes (MO) and monocytic cells is modulated by Vitamin D3. Recently, using mRNA Differential Display technology, Fritsche J, et al have identified a gene which is induced in freshly isolated human blood MO that are cultured for 4 hours with Vitamin D3. This cDNA encodes a putative 16.5 kD protein. The product of this gene has structural homology with yeast MMS2P and human CROC-1, which defines a structurally and functionally conserved UBC-like protein family. This protein was called UEV2. The yeast UEV protein is required together with UBC13 for RAD6/RAD18-dependent postreplicative DNA repair in yeast. These proteins also play a central role in the assembly of K63-linked polyubiquitin chains UEV/UBC complexes have been implicated in the assembly of Lys63-linked polyubiquitin chains that act as a novel signal in postreplicative DNA repair and IkBa kinase activation. Recent crystal structure analysis provides direct evidence that the UEV2 heterodimer is necessary for DNA repair.
