DESCRIPTION

Also known as HUWE1_HUMAN, HUWE1, KIAA0312, KIAA1578, UREB1. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which mediates ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins (PubMed:15989957, PubMed:19713937, PubMed:15567145, PubMed:15767685, PubMed:18488021, PubMed:17567951, PubMed:19037095, PubMed:20534529, PubMed:30217973). Regulates apoptosis by catalyzing the polyubiquitination and degradation of MCL1 (PubMed:15989957). Mediates monoubiquitination of DNA polymerase beta (POLB) at 'Lys-41', 'Lys-61' and 'Lys-81', thereby playing a role in base-excision repair (PubMed:19713937). Also ubiquitinates the p53/TP53 tumor suppressor and core histones including H1, H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 (PubMed:15567145, PubMed:15767685, PubMed:15989956). Ubiquitinates MFN2 to negatively regulate mitochondrial fusion in response to decreased stearoylation of TFRC (PubMed:26214738). Ubiquitination of MFN2 also takes place following induction of mitophagy; AMBRA1 acts as a cofactor for HUWE1-mediated ubiquitination (PubMed:30217973). Regulates neural differentiation and proliferation by catalyzing the polyubiquitination and degradation of MYCN (PubMed:18488021). May regulate abundance of CDC6 after DNA damage by polyubiquitinating and targeting CDC6 to degradation (PubMed:17567951). Mediates polyubiquitination of isoform 2 of PA2G4 (PubMed:19037095). Acts in concert with MYCBP2 to regulate the circadian clock gene expression by promoting the lithium-induced ubiquination and degradation of NR1D1 (PubMed:20534529). Binds to an upstream initiator-like sequence in the preprodynorphin gene (By similarity). Interacts with isoform p14ARF of CDKN2A which strongly inhibits HUWE1 ubiquitin ligase activity. Interacts with MYCN, POLB and CDC6. Interacts with isoform 2 of PA2G4. Interacts with NR1D1 (PubMed:20534529). Interacts with AMBRA1 (PubMed:30217973).
