DESCRIPTION

Also known as TRI50_HUMAN, TRIM50, TRIM50A. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that ubiquitinates Beclin-1/BECN1 in a 'Lys-63'-dependent manner enhancing its binding to ULK1. In turn, promotes starvation-induced autophagy activation. Interacts also with p62/SQSTM1 protein and thereby induces the formation and the autophagy clearance of aggresome-associated polyubiquitinated proteins through HDAC6 interaction. Can form dimers and trimers. Interacts with several E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, including UBE2L6, UBE2E1, UBE2E3. No interaction with UBE2H. Interacts with BECN1. Interacts with SQSTM1.
