FunFam 55: Ubiquitin conjugation factor e4 a

Please note: GO annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

There are 6 GO terms relating to "molecular function"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Protein binding GO:0005515

Ubiquitin-ubiquitin ligase activity GO:0034450
Isoenergetic transfer of ubiquitin from one protein to an existing ubiquitin chain via the reaction X-ubiquitin + Y-ubiquitin -> Y-ubiquitin-ubiquitin + X, where both the X-ubiquitin and Y-ubiquitin-ubiquitin linkages are thioester bonds between the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin and a sulfhydryl side group of a cysteine residue.

Ubiquitin-ubiquitin ligase activity GO:0034450
Isoenergetic transfer of ubiquitin from one protein to an existing ubiquitin chain via the reaction X-ubiquitin + Y-ubiquitin -> Y-ubiquitin-ubiquitin + X, where both the X-ubiquitin and Y-ubiquitin-ubiquitin linkages are thioester bonds between the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin and a sulfhydryl side group of a cysteine residue.
1 Q9U4F8 (/ISS)
Chaperone binding GO:0051087
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a chaperone protein, a class of proteins that bind to nascent or unfolded polypeptides and ensure correct folding or transport.
1 Q09349 (/IPI)
Ubiquitin protein ligase activity GO:0061630
Catalysis of the transfer of ubiquitin to a substrate protein via the reaction X-ubiquitin + S -> X + S-ubiquitin, where X is either an E2 or E3 enzyme, the X-ubiquitin linkage is a thioester bond, and the S-ubiquitin linkage is an amide bond: an isopeptide bond between the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin and the epsilon-amino group of lysine residues in the substrate or, in the linear extension of ubiquitin chains, a peptide bond the between the C-terminal glycine and N-terminal methionine of ubiquitin residues.

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Protein ubiquitination GO:0016567
The process in which one or more ubiquitin groups are added to a protein.
3 P54860 (/IDA) P54860 (/IDA) Q09349 (/IDA)
Protein polyubiquitination GO:0000209
Addition of multiple ubiquitin groups to a protein, forming a ubiquitin chain.
2 E9Q735 (/IDA) Q09349 (/IDA)
Ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process GO:0006511
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of a protein or peptide by hydrolysis of its peptide bonds, initiated by the covalent attachment of a ubiquitin group, or multiple ubiquitin groups, to the protein.
2 P54860 (/IMP) P54860 (/IMP)
Ubiquitin-dependent ERAD pathway GO:0030433
The series of steps necessary to target endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident proteins for degradation by the cytoplasmic proteasome. Begins with recognition of the ER-resident protein, includes retrotranslocation (dislocation) of the protein from the ER to the cytosol, protein ubiquitination necessary for correct substrate transfer, transport of the protein to the proteasome, and ends with degradation of the protein by the cytoplasmic proteasome.
2 P54860 (/IMP) P54860 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of protein ubiquitination GO:0031398
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the addition of ubiquitin groups to a protein.
2 P54860 (/IMP) P54860 (/IMP)
Ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process GO:0006511
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of a protein or peptide by hydrolysis of its peptide bonds, initiated by the covalent attachment of a ubiquitin group, or multiple ubiquitin groups, to the protein.

Determination of adult lifespan GO:0008340
The control of viability and duration in the adult phase of the life-cycle.
1 Q09349 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process GO:0032436
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the breakdown of a protein or peptide by hydrolysis of its peptide bonds, initiated by the covalent attachment of ubiquitin, and mediated by the proteasome.
1 Q09349 (/IMP)
Protein autoubiquitination GO:0051865
The ubiquitination by a protein of one or more of its own amino acid residues, or residues on an identical protein. Ubiquitination occurs on the lysine residue by formation of an isopeptide crosslink.
