DESCRIPTION

Also known as HERC2_HUMAN, HERC2. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that regulates ubiquitin-dependent retention of repair proteins on damaged chromosomes. Recruited to sites of DNA damage in response to ionizing radiation (IR) and facilitates the assembly of UBE2N and RNF8 promoting DNA damage-induced formation of 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitin chains. Acts as a mediator of binding specificity between UBE2N and RNF8. Involved in the maintenance of RNF168 levels. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that promotes the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of XPA which influences the circadian oscillation of DNA excision repair activity. By controlling the steady-state expression of the IGF1R receptor, indirectly regulates the insulin-like growth factor receptor signaling pathway (PubMed:26692333). Interacts (when phosphorylated at Thr-4827 and sumoylated) with RNF8 (via FHA domain); this interaction increases after ionizing radiation (IR) treatment. Interacts with XPA. Interacts with NEURL4. Via its interaction with NEURL4, may indirectly interact with CCP110 and CEP97.
