DESCRIPTION

Also known as UBE2N_HUMAN, UBE2N, BLU. The UBE2V1-UBE2N and UBE2V2-UBE2N heterodimers catalyze the synthesis of non-canonical 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains. This type of polyubiquitination does not lead to protein degradation by the proteasome. Mediates transcriptional activation of target genes. Plays a role in the control of progress through the cell cycle and differentiation. Plays a role in the error-free DNA repair pathway and contributes to the survival of cells after DNA damage. Acts together with the E3 ligases, HLTF and SHPRH, in the 'Lys-63'-linked poly-ubiquitination of PCNA upon genotoxic stress, which is required for DNA repair. Appears to act together with E3 ligase RNF5 in the 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination of JKAMP thereby regulating JKAMP function by decreasing its association with components of the proteasome and ERAD. Promotes TRIM5 capsid-specific restriction activity and the UBE2V1-UBE2N heterodimer acts in concert with TRIM5 to generate 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains which activate the MAP3K7/TAK1 complex which in turn results in the induction and expression of NF-kappa-B and MAPK-responsive inflammatory genes. Together with RNF135 and UB2V1, catalyzes the viral RNA-dependent 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination of RIGI to activate the downstream signaling pathway that leads to interferon beta production (PubMed:28469175, PubMed:31006531). UBE2V1-UBE2N together with TRAF3IP2 E3 ubiquitin ligase mediate 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination of TRAF6, a component of IL17A-mediated signaling pathway. Heterodimer with UBE2V2 (PubMed:10089880, PubMed:11473255, PubMed:14562038, PubMed:16307917, PubMed:16307917). Interacts (UBE2V2-UBE2N heterodimer) with the E3 ligase STUB1 (via the U-box domain); the complex has a specific 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination activity (PubMed:16307917). Interacts with RNF8 and RNF168 (PubMed:16215985, PubMed:19203578). Interacts with RNF11 (PubMed:18615712). Interacts with the E3 ligases, HLTF and SHPRH; the interactions promote the 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination of PCNA upon genotoxic stress and lead to DNA repair (PubMed:17108083, PubMed:17130289, PubMed:18316726, PubMed:18719106). Interacts with ARIH2 (via RING-type 2) (PubMed:19340006). Interacts with OTUB1; leading to inhibit E2-conjugating activity (PubMed:20725033, PubMed:22325355, PubMed:22367539). Interacts with GPS2; leading to inhibit E2-conjugating activity (By similarity). Interacts with RIGI and RNF135; involved in RIGI ubiquitination and activation (PubMed:28469175).
