The modification of proteins with ubiquitin is an important cellular mechanism for targeting abnormal or short-lived proteins for degradation. Ubiquitination involves at least three classes of enzymes: ubiquitin-activating enzymes, or E1s, ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, or E2s, and ubiquitin-protein ligases, or E3s. This gene encodes a member of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. This enzyme is required for post-replicative DNA damage repair. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene and they encode distinct isoforms.[6]

Interactions

UBE2A has been shown to interact with RAD18[7][8] and P53.[9]

Clinical

Mutations in this gene have been associated with X-linked intellectual disability type Nascimento. This syndrome is characterized by moderate to severe intellectual disability, dysmorphic facial features, speech impairment, genital anomalies and skin abnormalities.
