EC 2.3.2.36 Details
EC number
2.3.2.36
Accepted name
RING-type E3 ubiquitin transferase (cysteine targeting)
Reaction
[E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-S-ubiquitinyl-L-cysteine + [acceptor protein]-L-cysteine = [E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-L-cysteine + [acceptor protein]-S-ubiquitinyl-L-cysteine
Other name(s)
RING E3 ligase (misleading)
Systematic name
[E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-S-ubiquitinyl-L-cysteine:[acceptor protein] ubiquitin transferase (thioester bond-froming; RING-type)
Comment
This relatively rare subpopulation of RING-type E3 ubiquitin transferases (cf. EC 2.3.2.27), found in mammals and herpes viruses, can transfer ubiquitin to a cysteine residue in target proteins. Additional ubiquitin molecules are polymerized on top of the initial ubiquitin molecule by formation of an isopeptide linkage with lysine48 in the pre-attached ubiquitin [2].
