Quality Control Activity: Polyubiquitin Chain Formation Assay: The activity of His-UBE2V2 was validated in a polyubiquitin chain formation assay. Incubation of UBE1, UBE2N and CHIP - with and without His-UBE2V2 - in the presence of ubiquitin and ATP at 30 °C was compared at two time points, T0 and T60 minutes. Polyubiquitin chains were detected by Western blot using a monoclonal anti-ubiquitin conjugate antibody. The ability of His-UBE2V2 to promote the formation of polyubiquitin chains was observed.   

Background

The enzymes of the ubiquitylation pathway play a pivotal role in a number of cellular processes including regulated and targeted proteasomal degradation of substrate proteins.  Three classes of enzymes are involved in the process of ubiquitylation; activating enzymes (E1s), conjugating enzymes (E2s) and protein ligases (E3s). UBE2V2 is a member of the E2 conjugating enzyme family and cloning of the human gene was first described by Fritsche et al. (1997). UBE2V2 shares 90% sequence identity with UBE2V1 in its C-terminal domain (Sancho et al., 1998).  The UEV protein Mms2 (yeast homologue of human UBE2V2) forms a heterodimer with yeast Ubc13 (UBE2N) which is recruited to chromatin by the RING finger proteins RAD5 and RAD18 in the RAD6 dependent post-replicative DNA repair pathway (Hofmann and Pickart 1999). These proteins also play a central role in the assembly of K63-linked polyubiquitin chains (Ulrich and Jentsch 2000; Xiao et al., 1998). UEV/Ubc complexes have been implicated in the assembly of Lys63-linked polyubiquitin chains that act as a novel signal in post-replicative DNA repair and IκBα kinase activation.  Recent crystal structure analysis provides direct evidence that the Mms2/Ubc13 heterodimer is necessary for DNA repair (Moraes et al., 2001).
