  • QA; Activity
    E2-Ubiquitin Thioester Loading Assay: The activity of GST-UBE2Q1 was validated by loading E1 UBE1 activated ubiquitin onto the active cysteine of the GST-UBE2Q1 E2 enzyme via a transthiolation reaction. Incubation of the UBE1 and GST-UBE2Q1 enzymes in the presence of ubiquitin and ATP at 30°C was compared at two time points, T0 and T10 minutes. Sensitivity of the ubiquitin/GST-UBE2Q1 thioester bond to the reducing agent DTT was confirmed.  

The enzymes of the ubiquitylation pathway play a pivotal role in a number of cellular processes including regulated and targeted proteosomal degradation of substrate proteins. Three classes of enzymes are involved in the process of ubiquitylation; activating enzymes (E1s), conjugating enzymes (E2s) and protein ligases (E3s). UBE2Q1 is a member of the E2 conjugating enzyme family. Cloning of human UBE2Q1 was first described by Marenholz et al. (2001). UBE2Q1 shares 50-75% sequence identity to its homologues in, Mus musculus, Drosophila, C. elegans and Xenopus. Murine UBE2Q1 has a conserved sequence for ubiquitin binding shared by all the ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes and its NH2-terminal domain appears critical for the binding and internalization of cell surface galactosyltransferase 1 (GalT1) in embryonic stem cells. UBE2Q1 regulates GalT1-associated laminin-dependent embryonic cell adhesion and the formation of embryoid bodies (Wassler et al., 2008).
