Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 J1

Definition:

Catalyzes the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to other proteins. Functions in the selective degradation of misfolded membrane proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ERAD) and is essential for cells to recover from ER stress. Plays a role in MAPKAPK2-dependent translational control of TNF-alpha synthesis. Acts also as a platform for perinuclear positioning of the endosomal system by mediating ubiquitination of SQSTM1 through interaction with the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF26.; (Microbial infection) Promotes Dengue virus RNA replication by negatively regulating IFN-beta signaling and mediating 'Lys-48'-linked ubiquitination on IRF3.
