Protein: Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 B (EC 2.3.2.23) (E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme B) (RAD6 homolog B) (HR6B) (hHR6B) (Ubiquitin carrier protein B) (Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2-17 kDa) (Ubiquitin-protein ligase B) (P63146)
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)
Function: Accepts ubiquitin from the E1 complex and catalyzes its covalent attachment to other proteins. In association with the E3 enzyme BRE1 (RNF20 and/or RNF40), it plays a role in transcription regulation by catalyzing the monoubiquitination of histone H2B at 'Lys-120' to form H2BK120ub1. H2BK120ub1 gives a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation, elongation by RNA polymerase II, telomeric silencing, and is also a prerequisite for H3K4me and H3K79me formation. In vitro catalyzes 'Lys-11'-, as well as 'Lys-48'- and 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination. Required for postreplication repair of UV-damaged DNA. Associates to the E3 ligase RAD18 to form the UBE2B-RAD18 ubiquitin ligase complex involved in mono-ubiquitination of DNA-associated PCNA on 'Lys-164'. May be involved in neurite outgrowth.
