Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 N is a protein that in humans is encoded by the UBE2N gene.[1][2]

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. Studies in mouse suggest that this protein plays a role in DNA postreplication repair.[2]

Interactions

UBE2N has been shown to interact with Aurora A kinase,[3] TRAF2,[4] TRAF6,[4] HLTF[5] and UBE2V1.[4]
