UBE2W Protein, Human (His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

UBE2W protein is a multifunctional ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme that accepts ubiquitin in the E1 complex and catalyzes its covalent attachment to different substrates. Notably, UBE2W uniquely monoubiquitylates the N-terminus, including ATXN3, MAPT/TAU, POLR2H/RPB8, and STUB1/CHIP, showing specificity for disordered N-termini. UBE2W Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived UBE2W protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His labeled tag.

Description

UBE2W protein is a multifunctional ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme that accepts ubiquitin in the E1 complex and catalyzes its covalent attachment to different substrates. Notably, UBE2W uniquely monoubiquitylates the N-terminus, including ATXN3, MAPT/TAU, POLR2H/RPB8, and STUB1/CHIP, showing specificity for disordered N-termini. UBE2W Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived UBE2W protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His labeled tag.

Background

UBE2W, a versatile ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, fulfills a crucial role in cellular processes by accepting ubiquitin from the E1 complex and catalyzing its covalent attachment to diverse substrates (PubMed:20061386, PubMed:21229326). Notably, UBE2W exhibits a unique ability to monoubiquitinate the N-terminus of various substrates, including ATXN3, MAPT/TAU, POLR2H/RPB8, and STUB1/CHIP, showcasing its specificity for disordered N-termini (PubMed:23560854, PubMed:23696636, PubMed:25436519). This monoubiquitination process plays a critical role in the degradation of misfolded chaperone substrates, as UBE2W mediates the monoubiquitination of STUB1/CHIP, leading to the recruitment of ATXN3 and restriction of the ubiquitin chain length attached to STUB1/CHIP substrates (PubMed:23696636, PubMed:25436519). Moreover, UBE2W, particularly activated by UV irradiation, acts as a specific E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme for the Fanconi anemia complex, collaborating with E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase FANCL to catalyze monoubiquitination of FANCD2, a crucial step in the DNA damage response pathway (PubMed:19111657, PubMed:21229326). In addition to its versatile monoubiquitination capabilities, UBE2W can catalyze 'Lys-11'-linked polyubiquitination in vitro, demonstrating its flexibility in ubiquitin chain formation (PubMed:25436519).

Verified Bioactivity

Under ATP and E1 conditions, UBE2W binds with ubiquitin molecules to form thioester complexes UBE2W-Ub.
