Disease relevance of Ube2i

 

High impact information on Ube2i

  • When a yeast two-hybrid assay is used, deletion analysis of the interacting domain on Vsx-1 shows that Ubc9 binds to a nuclear localization signal (NLS) at the NH(2) terminus of the homeodomain [2].
  • In SW13 AK1 cells that express low levels of endogenous Ubc9, Vsx-1 accumulates in a perinuclear ring and colocalizes with an endoplasmic reticulum marker [2].
  • Direct involvement of the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Ubc9/Hus5 in the degradation of IkappaBalpha [3].
  • A mouse homolog, Mmubc9, encodes an amino acid sequence that is identical to the human protein [4].
  • Transient transfection assays in COS-1 cells showed that Ubc9 increased MR transactivation of reporter constructs containing MRE, ENaC, or MMTV promoter in a hormone-sensitive manner [5].
 

Biological context of Ube2i

  • Following siRNA knockdown of IPO13 activity in the fetal ovary, fewer germ cells are found to progress to the late-pachytene stage of meiosis and nuclear accumulation of UBC9 is reduced [6].
  • Loss of Ubc9 leads to major chromosome condensation and segregation defects [7].
  • In culture, Ubc9 mutant blastocysts are viable, but fail to expand after 2 days and show apoptosis of the inner cell mass [7].
  • We investigated the role of the SUMO-1-conjugating enzyme Ubc9 in MR transactivation [5].
  • Failed mitosis in the absence of Ubc9 is not necessarily coupled with cell death [8].
 

Anatomical context of Ube2i

  • This finding is consistent with the progressive accumulation of UBC9 in the nucleus of the meiotic germ cells after the onset of L-Ipo13 expression [6].
  • Ubc9-deficient cells also show severe defects in nuclear organization, including nuclear envelope dysmorphy and disruption of nucleoli and PML nuclear bodies [7].
  • In sum, our data indicate that DeltaNp63alpha is ubiquitinated in a Nedd4- and sumoylated in a Ubc9-dependent fashion, and that these modifications can regulate DeltaNp63alpha stability in the zebrafish ectoderm [9].
  • Ubc9 expression is essential for myotube formation in C2C12 [10].
  • Interestingly, knockdown of the SUMO-conjugating enzyme, Ubc9, severely compromises C2C12 muscle cell terminal differentiation [10].
 

Associations of Ube2i with chemical compounds

  • Indeed, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that endogenous MR, Ubc9, and SRC-1 were recruited to an endogenous ENaC gene promoter in a largely aldosterone-dependent manner [5].
  • Ets-1 with Lys-15 mutated to an arginine still binds UBC9 with an affinity similar to the wild type protein, but is no longer sumoylated [11].
