Active, Human, Recombinant UBE3C

Enzyme

Product Code: TE3-066
Verified Applications: In vitro, recombinant UBE3C accepts activated ubiquitin from E2 conjugating enzymes UBE2D1 or UBE2L3, in a reaction that also requires Ubiquitin Activating Enzyme 1 (an E1). The charged E3 demonstrates strong autoubiquitylation in the absence of added substrates. Appropriate enzyme concentrations are specific to the application.
Activity: Verified in poly-ubiquitin Chain Synthesis Assay.
Purity: 95%
Concentration: 50 – 70 μM

Background and Additional Info

Background: Ubiquitin-protein ligase E3C (UBE3C) is one of 28 HECT (Homologous to E6AP C-Terminus) class ubiquitin ligases found in humans. UBE3C’s HECT domain is an L-shaped, bilobed structure, with a large N-lobe and a small C-lobe. A region N-terminal to the HECT domain affect the stability and activity of UBE3C. Utilizing the E2 enzyme UBE2L3 or UBE2D1, UBE3C poly-ubiquitylates substrates, favoring K29 and K48 linkages. Reported substrates of the ligase include ADRM1, PIK3C3, CAND2, IRF3 and others. Anchored to 26S proteasomes, UBE3C elongates or regenerates ubiquitin chains on stalled substrates, facilitating their extraction.
